Chef Carlos Baez

Carlos Baez a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu began his career working for some of the best names in the Atlanta’s culinary industry including Anne Quatrano (Abbatoir Star Provisions) Linton Hopkins (Holeman & Finch) and his mentor Josh Hopkins (Abbatoir Empire State South). During his time at Empire State South he met his wife pastry chef Kendall Baez. Shortly after having two children the couple started looking for a family-friendly city with an up-and-coming food scene. Carlos saw Greenville as a perfect fit. He quickly worked his way up the ranks at The Anchorage under chef/owner Greg McPhee becoming Chef de Cuisine. After working for three years at the Anchorage Carlos took the helm at Mr. Crisp establishing a new standard of fresh local seafood.

Chef Luis Martinez

Luis Martinez was born in Santa Catarina Loxicha Oaxaca Mexico in a small Zapotec pueblo. He came to the US in 2005 after studying Fine Arts at the state university while working in kitchens around Oaxaca City. Upon arriving in the US he experienced the harsh reality of migrant work and the shock of a different culture as a farm-worker in Indio California. After eventually moving to Los Angeles Luis returned to the restaurant industry where he worked in several restaurants and cuisines alongside other Oaxacans. These chefs taught Luis how to infuse Oaxacan culture and cuisine into his cooking using various methodologies from traditional ingredients to Asian techniques. Now based in Asheville NC Luis combines his love for cooking with his passion for social justice.
