Chef Besele was trained in French cuisine. The South American concept was somehow an exciting challenge for him, which he had the most fun researching, learning, and adapting to. 

“When I worked at FYN as the head chef, I did a lot of Japanese cuisine and there are similarities between ceviche and sashimi. So I brought some of my experience of working at FYN and mixed it up with the new concept of doing South American food, blending the two.”
