#14 Chef Jason Hotchkiss

Executive Chef Jason Hotchkiss knows his way around the kitchen,
as he comes to Encontro with years of impressive restaurant and
hospitality industry experience. In his previous position as
director of culinary operations for The Patio Group (The Patio on
Goldfinch, The Patio on Lamont, Fireside by The Patio, Saska’s
Steak & Seafood), he was solely responsible for overseeing
the consistency of quality within their food and beverage
program. Chef Jason’s passion for sourcing sustainably caught
seafood led him to obtain a Fish Receiver’s license so that he
could purchase and receive the freshest catch available for his
restaurants.


Prior to his role with The Patio Group, Chef Jason held corporate
chef positions at both the iconic Cohn Restaurant Group and
Whisknladle Hospitality organizations. And before relocating to
San Diego, he served as executive chef for the famed Bottega
Louie in Los Angeles, where he managed a kitchen staff of 80.
During his four-year tenure, the restaurant garnered accolades in
numerous publications including “Top 10 New Restaurants” by Los
Angeles Magazine and L.A.’s Best Restaurants by Angeleno
Magazine. His culinary expertise also gained him personal
recognition in Gourmet Magazine in addition to affording him the
opportunity to cook at the Epicurean School of Culinary Arts in
Los Angeles.
