about the founder
Sami Marquez
Hola! I’m truly grateful for having you stop by! I’m a Portland transplant, coming from primarily the Southwest United States. Scottsdale is where I call home, having lived all over the west coast including Las Vegas for a handful of years.
In 2025, I am entering my twenty-fifth year of being in the Food, Beverage, and Hospitality industries.
Hospitality runs deep in my blood, not only culturally but from a passion perspective. At the age of 14 I entered the Hospitality world as a host of a restaurant in Phoenix and knew from that moment on — that would be my home. Having the honor to be a part of the customer experience is what drives my vision and all of my efforts.
If you’d like to see what else I’ve been up to, check out my other recent 2024 branded chef business, Vino Trece & Co. where I’m the Executive Chef specializing in Live-Fire cooking for a Coastal meets Latin BBQ. We offer Private Chef experiences, catering, and recipe development.
