Read below to learn more about Phil! 👇👇👇
- Are you from Tucson?
“I grew up on the south side on 12th and Drexel; not the best neighborhood but I made the best of it. I think the most important food that makes Tucson, Tucson is all on that side of town.
- How did you get your start in cooking?
“I started cooking when I was 16 and got my first job at Lucky Wishbone before working in random kitchens. I met Chef Riley outside of work when he first told me about a pop-up in Tucson. I helped, then started taking my culinary career seriously.”
-What is your favorite memory involving food?
“My earliest memory cooking is my tata showing me how to cook pancakes! It really makes me happy to see how far I’ve come.”
Meet Chef Phil, send him your congratulation, and get to know him more by visiting us!
