⎯ MEET DIEGO FELIX
A chef worth building
your night around.
Diego grew up outside Buenos Aires, then ate his way through Bolivia, Ecuador, Brazil and Peru on the road to Mexico. He learned the recipes from cooks, not cookbooks. Today he pairs them with produce from 18 Central Coast farms.
"We cook the story of a place — its land, its farmers, its hands."
— Diego, Chef & Founder, Colectivo Felix
