The Chefs Corner

SANTANA BURRISS
Executive Chef & Culinary Director
​Born in Charlotte, North Carolina and raised with the true southern charm from his time in Atlanta, Georgia; Chef Santana’s love of food and flavors come from his childhood that revolved around gathering family and friends together for ordinary dinners, celebrations, and unforgettable moments. He is passionate about creating memories through food and hospitality, and truly believes that cooking tastes better when you do it with love. Throughout Chef Santana’s life, the constant has always been food as a language to show appreciation, and eventually, to express the perceived value of his international travel experiences through his culinary talents.
