Meet The Chef

Chef Andres

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Has worked in Michelin star restaurants, Owner of Culinary Experience

A 3rd generation of caterers, Chef Andres has been exposed to the food world since a very early age. Working his way from the dishpan to the back of the house, he realized his love of cooking, and at the age of 17 he decided to study in France at Lycée Hotelier Jean Baptiste Simeón-Chardin. After his studies, he returned back to Mexico and graduated from ICUM (the Culinary Institute of Mexico).

He’s had the opportunity to work with several of the best chefs in Mexico where he’s improved his skills with their mentorship. In 2015, he joined the prestigious Gary Danko restaurant team in San Francisco where he worked managing a number of roles in the kitchen. He returned back to Mexico to open Cocina Colmillo, which offers pop up dinners, and restaurant consultation. He is thrilled to bring his kitchen into yours with his classes with The Chef & The Dish.

Chef Andres Jordan went way above and beyond! Excellent experience, great personality, the food was absolutely amazing, and my fiancé and I had the perfect date night!! It was great learning also about the history and tradition of this Mexican dish and he was beyond personable which made the experience even better! We cannot wait to share this with friends and family. If you want a 10/10 experience, would highly recommend working with Chef Andres Jordan! Thank you so much and thank you to The Chef and The Dish!

My husband and I took the Chicken Tinga class with Chef Andres and highly recommend it! It was one of the most delicious meals I've ever eaten and Andres was such a joy. He was so knowledgeable and incredibly down-to-earth.

Sydney Lambert

My experience with Chef Andrés was absolutely amazing start to finish. His ability to tell a story through food was incredible. His ability to show you how to cook the dish as well as ways to evolve it into your own was incredible. Would book another class in a heartbeat. Would recommend anyone to take his class to learn a lot about cooking a lot about Mexican cuisine and culture. fantastic.

Josh Batista

My husband and I took Chef Andres’ Chicken Tingas class! Not only is he a talented chef, but he was also a wonderful person. His food was absolutely incredible. Unlike anything we have ever had as avid cookers ourselves! He taught us a little bit of history behind Mexican cuisine and gave us amazing tips to use in our cooking along the way! We highly recommend Chef Andres and cannot wait to take one of his classes again! 10/10
