Chef Stephen Sandoval is the visionary behind Trino. Raised in San Diego, California, his upbringing in a melting pot of Mexican, New Orleans, and Spanish influences sparked a lifelong love affair with robust and diverse cuisines. Eager to explore his ancestral roots and push culinary boundaries, Chef Sandoval embarked on a culinary pilgrimage across Mexico, Argentina, New Orleans, and Spain. From cooking amongst the fires of Francis Mallman's Siete Fuegos to honing his skills under influential chefs like Rick Bayless and Donald Link, his journey shaped his visionary approach to cuisine. In 2022, he opened a year-long residency pop-up, Sueños x SoHo House, now in Chicago. From that venture birthed a permanent residency for his restaurant Entre Sueños. Now at Trino, he invites guests to join him on a thrilling gastronomic adventure, where vibrant flavors, creative twists, and a celebration of cultural influences come together in an unforgettable dining experience.
