My name is Antonio Hernandez, and I’m currently a Sous Chef at the Lido House in Newport Beach. I’ve built my culinary career working in well-known establishments such as Hyatt, Disney’s California Adventure, Marriott, Pasea Hotel and Spa, and The Westin Anaheim Resort. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience managing large events, creating exciting menus, and leading kitchen teams to deliver memorable dining experiences.
I’m excited to now share my passion for cooking and my industry knowledge with students. Teaching allows me to inspire the next generation of chefs and give them the tools and confidence they need to succeed in the culinary world. I look forward to helping students build strong skills, learn creative techniques, and discover the rewarding possibilities of a career in the kitchen.
