Chef Lopez is an alumnus of Le Cordon Bleu College of
Culinary Arts in San
Francisco, and his love for food is expressed in his mastery
of many techniques and ethnic styles.
He started his career at the famous Carnelian
Room in San Francisco,
moved to New York City where he perfected his art at
the Tanuki Tavern, then showed his versatility
at Gastro Bar 35 in the Wyndham
Hotel and later at the Eventi Hotel in
Chelsea.
"The opportunity to work with Rick's Cabaret is terrific because
I will get to do several different dining experiences in addition
to the traditional steakhouse on the second floor and to create a
new tapas menu for the main cabaret on the first floor," said Chef
Lopez. "It's the best of both worlds."
Rick's Cabaret/New York City is
located across from the Empire State Building and one block from
Madison Square Garden. Popular with
