Craig has been cooking for two decades, celebrating French, Regional Italian, and Asian Cuisine. He has also helped open restaurants that are anchoring the San Diego Food Scene, cutting his teeth at The Guild Restaurant, conceptualizing and operating the popular Little Italy restaurant Craft and Commerce and throughout the years helping to revamp Henry’s Pub in Downtown San Diego, to name a few. He is a native to San Diego but regularly travels for growth and inspiration.

Born and raised in a South-East neighborhood of San Diego called Paradise Hills, Craig was constantly surrounded by family gatherings & potlucks that presented a variety of different Flavors growing up. This melting pot of Filipino, American, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese and Laotian flavors were a constant inspiration to seek out the origins of these exotic cuisines and the stories they told. The best moments celebrating life, paired with these food memories have set him on a journey to find even more tasty dishes and bring them back to share.
