Chef Greg Daniels is a Southern California native, his passion for cooking was sparked when he was just 15 and working at a fast food joint, where he fell in love with the camaraderie of a restaurant environment. Daniels graduated from the Le Cordon Bleu program at the California School of Culinary Arts in Pasadena, CA, in 2005.
