The Chef

The Story

I've spent 23 years in fine dining kitchens, from running my own restaurant, Wilmer's, in Puerto Rico and cooking at Saborea Puerto Rico, to leading the line as Sous Chef at Motek in Boca Raton. My food lives where the Mediterranean meets the Caribbean, finished with technique: bright, layered, and made to share. I cook kosher and gluten-free with the same care as everything else.
