About
Chef Nelson Brizuela came to the u.s. in 2006 from El Salvador and began his first job in the restaurant industry at Mantilini. Beginning as a dishwasher, Chef Brizuela worked on building his culinary skills and determined to reach the position of head chef! He was proudly a part of the family at Mantilini for 10 years, until they closed their doors. After Mantilini, Chef began working at Hinoki & The Bird, under Executive Chef Brandon Kida, where he has continued to develop his techniques as a chef and a leader. Hinoki is a Japanese-American fusion restaurant where, as a sous chef, Brizuela has ventured into classic dishes like lobster, BBQ, ceviche and more. Under the mentorship of Chef Kida, Chef Brizuela has pushed to further develop his talents and, with chef Kida’s guidance, Brizuela has decided to take the opportunity to create his own “Revolution Kitchen.” The base of his dishes will focus on traditional cuisines with a modern twist.

Climate-Friendly Chickpea & Quinoa Bowl
This was the first Cook Unity Meal I could not eat. The flavors were clashing and the dressing was way too sweet.

Asian-Style BBQ Pork Loin
Good but seemed like it was missing a sauce cup.

Southwest Chicken Bowl
The BBQ sauce has been too pronounced lately. I wish they would go back to the prior, ranch-forward dressing.
