The Chef

Three places in one kitchen.

There is a reason beef bourguignon and frito pie end up on the same menu board. Chef Ilie Spilca didn't pick a lane, because he genuinely came from all three.

RomaniaBorn there.
New MexicoRaised here, which is why green chile isn't a topping, it's a default.
FranceTrained classically. It's the part you taste and can't quite name.

They were able to set us up with catering for 20 with less than 48hrs notice. Food was delivered on time, hot, and well prepared. Great service, and will definitely call again when we need catering! Keith M. · Yelp review
Chef Spilca and his crew are amazing. I needed to book a food truck for a staff event and this gentleman agreed to work with us. He even provided a meatless option for our staff who don't eat meat! The food and service were on point. Daniel P. · Yelp review
These tacos were filling, flavorful, not greasy, and delicious. Their version of consome was also the perfect addition to the tacos. Karlee A. · Yelp review
