EXECUTIVE CHEF MICHAEL GARCIA
Michael Garcia joins Leffew Restaurant Group as Corporate Executive Chef and will also be working with Lucky Rooster Kitchen + Bar. A self-taught chef with more than 25 years of experience, Garcia has honed his craft in resorts and private clubs including the Sonesta Resort and Palmetto Dunes Resort in Hilton Head.
In his new role, Garcia will assist in creating new menus that will create an experience for guests and take them on a journey. He is inspired by color, texture, flavors and satisfaction of seeing an idea brought to fruition and delivered.
Garcia will ensure each dish is executed properly and manage operations of the kitchens, while also mentoring up-and-coming chefs to pass on his experience to the younger generation to bring low country dining into a more modern twist. Garcia joined Leffew Restaurant Group in September 2022 and is excited to start creating new trends to allow guests to expand their flavor horizons.
