Chef Juan Rodriguez has spent every summer since he was a child traveling from Chicago to Monterrey, Mexico. While he was there, he spent a lot of time in the kitchen with his Grandmother, Magdalena, where he felt totally at home. Magdalena had a strong interest in eating, which she instilled in Juan. She took him to farmers markets, taught him how to shop at a local butcher shop, and showed him how to cook over an open fire. Juan left his hometown of Chicago to pursue his Associate's Degree in Culinary Arts at The Art Institute of Dallas, following in his Grandmother's footsteps. He subsequently worked his way up the chain of command in restaurants around the country for the next 15 years. He moved from New York City to Glen Rose before settling in Fort Worth, where he quickly rose through the ranks to become Executive Chef at Reata. It was there that he met Paige, his future wife. Juan left his job at Reata in 2015 to start his own catering company and supper club with the aid of his wife, Magdalena's Catering & Events, inspired by his Grandmother's legacy and driven by his passion.
