View ProfileCool and creamy, spicy and crisp… Chef Nelson's meal is a study in delicious contrasts. He coats a hearty portion of salmon in spices and sesame oil, sears each fillet to get the skin nice and crispy, then roasts to buttery tenderness and garnishes with toasty sesame seeds and fresh green onion. He plates it atop a bed of nutty, fiber-rich barley with a medley of vegetables—tangy pickled carrots and Persian cucumbers; subtly sweet steamed edamame, and slices of raw jalapeño. If that’s not hot enough, his spicy mayo gets a double dose of heat from sriracha and sambal.

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.
