The food concept of Flame is based off of quality food that brings people together to create memories.  My family has always enjoyed gathering around food, and having great conversations.

I still have memories of my abuela and myself eating tortillas around the fire.  I want my two children to have the same memories with our family.   It has always been important for me that the food is exciting and extraordinary.  I like to use fresh, quality, and local ingredients when I make dishes.

In a society of many cultures, it is important for me that as a chef and father, I want my children to experience various foods from different cultures.  Flame, New American Cuisine, will exhibit a blend of cultures.
