Alex currently serves as executive chef-partner at a small boutique
restaurant in Los Angeles, Restaurant 15. His culinary career is based primarily
in small individually owned restaurants, which is fitting, since he has a
personal relationship with food and finds his creativity is best expressed in
those intimate circumstances. Born in Madrid and raised in the Dominican
Republic and then New York, he has a very distinct cultural background that
fuels his passion for cooking. Classically trained in French and Spanish
cuisine, he often plays with Caribbean flair to add depth to his food. When not
training for marathons, he enjoys making one of his favorite dishes, paella.
