CHEF STEVE ORTIZ
Born and raised in the Bronx, Chef Steve Ortiz first fell in love with cooking through books. His main inspirations came from “Devil in the Kitchen” by Marco Pierre White and “Letters to a Young Chef” by Daniel Boulud. He went on to cook at some of the best restaurants in the world, including Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare here in New York City (3 Michelin stars), Alinea in Chicago (3 Michelin stars), Canvas in Bangkok (1 Michelin star), and Chef’s Table at Rote Wand in the Austrian Alps.
