The passion and drive to be great at anything in life starts at a young age. This is something that holds especially true for Chef Larry Delgado. At just 6 years of age, Larry could be seen helping his mother with the day’s meals in the family’s kitchen. His love for the kitchen was further strengthened at the age of 16 when he was given his first restaurant job. Larry’s passion to continue working eventually led him to a stint as a migrant worker.
It was there that, while picking the day’s produce, Larry was able to taste the fruit of his labor as it was meant to be tasted: directly from the source. This specific moment lit a fire in the future chef and he knew the life of a culinary master was in his cards.
Life soon took Larry to Austin, Texas where his love for cuisine met its match with his now-wife, Jessica. Jessica, who has the values notorious in Austinites, became a driving force in Larry’s personal and professional life. Her love for palatable food, passion for local sourcing and drive to delve deeper into sustainable practices were perfect compliments for Larry’s desire to create dishes like no other.
