Pull Up A Chair
Chef Jose Molina
We’ve learned never to settle for less than the finest and freshest ingredients.
We brought our tradition of hard work, desire for excellence, and most importantly Passion.
Chef Jose started cooking at the age of 16, his mentors taught him to respect each ingredient, make everything with passion, and be as creative as he can possibly be. Buying the best seasonal ingredients can make all the difference in the world. Growing up in Bolivia, Latin flavors had a powerful impact on him becoming the chef he is now and was his gateway to international influences. He enjoys the theater of cooking, and the searing sound from a cast-iron skillet is music to his ears. He loves using all his senses to create a perfectly balanced dish. New Heights is my American Dream.
