Chef Mariano Cebrian

For an Argentine like myself the asado is so much more than just a cookout. It’s deep rooted in our culture. It’s ancestral. It’s about taking your time to make the fire, being patient as it slowly burns to provide you with the perfect coals for cooking; carefully selecting several different cuts of meats and vegetables to cook long and slow over low heat; inviting your friends over early to pop open a bottle of wine to watch you work. It’s about human connection. It’s about entertaining and serving others. It’s about creating the environment to slow-down, ignore the clock and enjoy good food and wine with good company.

I grew up learning the tricks of the grill next to my father who instilled the passion of hosting and loving people through food. Since opening Panoram Asados Catering in 2017, I continue to hone my skills and challenge myself with unique and visual intensive menus at each event.
