#19 Chef Christopher Morales

Chef Chris grew up in West Hills, California, and moved to Cocoa
Beach because his father supported NASA. Chris became an
executive chef at Bistro Twentynine at the age of 20 in Palm
Springs, California, then opened another restaurant, Bistro 39,
which was the sister restaurant in Oceanside, California.


Chris has an amazing wife who supports him 100 percent in life,
which could include some lonely nights and holidays due to the
vicious hours and days that we work. Chris has two beautiful
stepdaughters, Maggie and Miranda. Maggie pretty much eats
anything that’s not spicy, and Miranda is a vegetarian


Like a lot of us, Chris started out at McDonald’s at 16, and
eventually worked in the Cocoa Beach Resort as a dishwasher and
worked his way up to fry, grill and then sous chef at the age of
18. Chris has been part owner and executive chef at Amici’s
Beachside Bistro, Kiwi Tennis Club, Silvestro’s and Trend
Kitchen.
