The Culinary Journey of Chef David

Image alt description

I am a professional chef with over 10 years of experience. I graduated from Universidad de La Sabana in Colombia and trained under Michelin-starred Chef Juan Manuel Barrientos. Later, I worked at Otium in Los Angeles under Chef Timothy Hollingsworth, and led teams at True Food, refining my management and modern cuisine skills. Today, I dedicate myself to offering exclusive private dining experiences that blend creativity, flavor, and authenticity.

I believe that cooking is a lifelong journey of learning and discovery. Every kitchen, every chef, and every culture has taught me something new that shapes my culinary style.

Crafting Meaningful Culinary Experiences

Passion and Identity

Cooking is how I express who I am — it reflects my story, my roots, and my creativity.

Learning the Craft

My foundation was built at Universidad de La Sabana, but my true education came from the people I’ve worked with and the kitchens I’ve led around the world.

Philosophy in the Kitchen

Cooking should be joyful. Every dish I create aims to make people smile and connect through flavor.
