SERGIO TORRES-QUARANTO
Oro Valley,AZ
Summary
I have 45 years of experience in various types of restaurants, which has allowed me to learn the different versatile styles and methods shown to me by some of the best chefs, like David Burke, to name one. I've been able to achieve my position through personal study, training, and the development of skills without any standard culinary schooling. Held position of head chef in Five Restaurants as well as being Union Shop Steward for Local 100 H.E.R.E (Hotel Employees & Restaurant Employees) for three years
