A son of the City of Angels, Oscar Torres developed an affinity and deep love for the city’s rich culture. He gravitated to the kitchen at an early age mimicking and learning from family members who quite literally passed down generations-old recipes and culinary techniques to young Torres.

Driven by his passion for creating, Chef Torres pursued formal culinary training at Le Cordon Bleu, where he sharpened his skills under the guidance of master chefs, refining his techniques and discovering his unique identity. His passion and talents didn’t go unnoticed, and he was awarded his first Executive Chef position at the age of 24.

At the heart of Oscar's culinary journey, he was taken under the wings of several mentors, including Chef Mario Alberto (Lazy Ox, Olivia’s), who helped him understand and develop Angelino cuisine. By creating a genreless category without boundaries, he can unrestrictedly share his dedication to the cuisine.
