Chef Profile
Chef Luis Torres
The Bourbon Grill Bourbon Grill serves fresh comfortable environment.
New American cuisine in a historic, yet
Who inspired you to become a chef?
“I’ve always wanted to be a chef, ever since I was a child watching cooking shows on TV. I started cooking gourmet meals for my family, as practice, at the age of 14. It was different back then; you actually had to know what you were doing. There was no Google to use as a recipe reference.”
What is your favorite dish on the menu and why?
“I am a big fan of the petite filet mignon and jumbo lobster tails. This meal represents the best of both worlds.”
What are you most proud of as a chef?
“I like to teach all my cooks to continue to grow and help them hone their craft. And, I make sure to treat each of them as if they were a chef, with respect and dignity. Sometimes in this industry that is forgotten.”

If you were not a chef, what would you be doing?
“I love this business. So, I would still be in the restaurant business, but as a food and beverage director, or something similar.”
