Meet Chef Philly Phill

---

Chef Philly Phill’s journey began at the young age of four. He was already in the kitchen with his aunt and grandmother. Fascinated by the smells, the sounds, and the magic of food.

From his Puerto Rican side, he inherited soulful, deep flavors and the foundation of his cooking, like his family’s sofrito recipe, which gives his picadillo and pernil their unforgettable taste. From his mother, a professional baker, he learned the art of precision, creativity, and patience — the kind of detail that transforms cooking into craft.

Raised alongside his mother and three sisters, Chef Phill grew up surrounded by strong women who taught him resilience, warmth, and the joy of feeding others like they were family. Every person in his life left a mark on his cooking, whether through tradition, technique, or the simple love of gathering around the table.
