Originally from Menfi, a small town in Sicily, Chef Accursio grew up with Centuries old Mediterranean dishes made by his mother and grandmother using locally caught fish, farm-raised meat, and produce from the family gardens. Here in San Diego Lotà started cooking with storied Marine Room chefs Bernard Guillas and Ron Oliver, winning a slew of awards including San Diego's "Best Chef" numerous times.

Lauded for her "skill and elegance", local culinary talent Christine Rivera was recently selected as an Eater Young Guns class of 2016 finalist. And, with her "skill-driven task of nixtamalizing, milling, and kneading masa each day, in house, while running an exceptional restaurant in a demanding market", it’s little wonder the 25-year-old was headhunted from George's California Modern to help launch Trey Foshee’s Galaxy Taco.
