The Matador Cantina Announces Appointment of Executive Chef Dave Dennis
Located in Historic Downtown Fullerton, the cuisine will be a fusion of native and contemporary Mexican favorites with a hint of other cultural flavors.
Fullerton, CA, March 07, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Matador Cantina, today announced the appointment of Executive Chef Dave Dennis. Dennis brings to the position over 10 years of diverse experience having led the culinary teams at such notable restaurants as Ruth’s Chris in Phoenix, Arizona, Keegan’s in Chandler, Ariz. and most recently King’s Fish House in Orange, California, where he served as Executive Chef for five years and helped the restaurant earn “Best of” Orange County honors two years in a row.
A graduate of Scottsdale Culinary Institute in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Southern California native expanded his culinary repertoire to include a wide range of Mexican cuisines while living in Mexico near Puerto Vallarta and while working as a private chef on a chartered yacht in Panama.
“Living in Mexico afforded me the pleasure and incredible firsthand experience of authentic Mexican cooking at its best,” said Dennis. “What I now apply to my own recipes was initially developed from generations of cooking methods straight out of a Mexican kitchen.”
In response to his appointment, Matador managing partner Mario Marovic stated, “Chef Dennis is an extraordinary talent and we are extremely pleased to have him onboard. We believe that with his help, the Matador will raise the bar for great Mexican food in Fullerton and throughout North County.”
The cuisine will be a fusion of native and contemporary Mexican favorites with a hint of other cultural flavors. The result: traditional dishes such as Tres Enchiladas using varied sauces made from robust peppers and garden fresh ingredients to unique and mouth-watering plates such as Chorizo Ravioli served with a cilantro cream sauce.
The Matador Cantina is located at 111 North Harbor Blvd, Fullerton, CA. Lunch will be served daily from 11am, 365 days a year. Brunch will be served from 11am Saturday and Sunday. Dinner reservations, as well as private party information prior to opening can be obtained by calling 714.871.8226 or visit www.thematador.com <http://www.thematador.com> for updated info.
