Work with me.

I've spent my career building menus, leading kitchens, developing cooks and chefs, creating standards, and executing food at a high level. I've worked across fine dining, luxury hospitality, and large culinary operations, which has taught me how to balance creativity with everything it takes to make a kitchen successful.

Today, I bring that experience to restaurants, culinary experiences, and the work I create through Solorio Eats.

Restaurant Consulting

A strong kitchen is built on more than good food.

I work with restaurants on menu direction, kitchen systems, recipe standards, training, organization, food quality, consistency, and execution. I understand how all of those pieces affect one another, especially once a restaurant gets busy.

Whether you're opening something new, rebuilding an existing operation, or looking to raise the level of what you're already doing, I bring years of hands-on culinary leadership to the table.

Menu & Recipe Development

I've spent years developing food for very different styles of restaurants and service, and I've learned that a great menu has to balance creativity with reality.

Flavor and technique matter, but so do seasonality, sourcing, food cost, prep, cross-utilization, consistency, and the ability to execute every dish at the level it was intended.

I develop menus and recipes from the first idea through testing, specifications, plating, and final execution, with the guest and the identity of the restaurant always at the center.

Culinary Experiences

Some of the most memorable food happens when you have the freedom to create something specifically for the occasion.

Private dinners at home, celebrations, wine dinners, guest-chef dinners, and special events all give me the opportunity to build an experience around the people at the table.

I bring the same attention to flavor, technique, progression, pacing, and presentation that has shaped my career in fine dining, while making the menu personal to the setting and the people I'm cooking for.

Brand Partnerships

I bring years of professional culinary experience to the way I approach food, ingredients, and the products I use. I understand how they perform in the kitchen, how they fit into a recipe, and how to communicate that knowledge in a way people can understand and use.

Through Solorio Eats, I can bring that experience together with a brand to create something that is informed by the same knowledge and standards I bring to my own cooking.
