Get to know me better

I'm here to cook dope food and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of gum.

Hi, I’m Marv and I love to cook! I’ve been working in professional kitchens for the last twenty years. During that time I’ve worked with talented chefs of many different backgrounds – Italian, Korean, Vietnamese, Mexican, and of course American. I’m always fascinated by the many parallels I find connecting the different cuisines I’ve been fortunate to work with.

I love foods from all over the world, so if I had to pick my favorite cuisine, I’d say it’s comfort food. It’s the kind of food we’re passionate about; the kind of food we get excited about eating and sharing with the people close to us.

Whether it’s a fancy, multi-course plated meal, a family cookout, or a casual brunch gathering with friends, great food has the ability to bring people together. I believe strongly that dining together is a quintessential human experience. My favorite thing about being a chef is that I get to play a small part in the memories my guests make with their friends and families.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

modern day magic. We take something great and turn it into something better. We bring joy to peoples' lives through our food.

I learned to cook at...

the Four Seasons resort in San Diego, CA. I was lucky enough to learn a solid, world class foundation that I've enjoyed building upon ever since.

A cooking secret...

Respect people. Respect food. Season everything. Use The Force. When in doubt, fried rice. And it never hurts to smile. Go beyond - Plus Ultra!
