Originally from Veracruz,
Mexico, Chef Sobrino's culinary journey is rooted in the
fertile soils of his family's ranch, where his earliest connection
to agriculture inspired his culinary artistry. His global culinary
exploration began during his twelve-year tenure in France, where he honed his skills in renowned

Côté Cuisine and Les Fables de La Fontaine. Following his time in
France, Chef Sobrino continued to
elevate his craft back home in Mexico, showcasing his expertise at Mexsi Bocú

program at Bishop's Lodge," said Diego
Sobrino, executive chef, Bishop's Lodge, Auberge Resorts
Collection. "I am devoted to preserving the cherished tradition of
modern Southwestern cuisine at SkyFire. My earliest memories in the
kitchen involve the simple act of chopping vegetables when I was
three years old, armed with just a stool and knife, so I am very
much in touch with the passion and emotion that exists within our
culinary program at Bishop's Lodge. My goal is to collaborate with
local farmers and purveyors to create an experience that resonates
with the Santa Fe community and resort
guests, infusing both a traditional and global perspective to the
menu at our restaurants and through unique culinary
experiences."
Chef Sobrino will weave his diverse experiences into an
exquisite culinary tapestry, where guests can expect a fusion of

a stint living in a forest in a tent during his days as a
lumberjack, Chef Sobrino brings rich experiences that extend beyond
the kitchen, adding a dynamic touch to his epicurean creations.
