“Holy Saints! in Old Pasadena opened in May 2023 and is owned by Chef Daniel Torres and partner Stephanie, a husband-and-wife team. As a small business, they understand the importance of working with local farmers, small family vineyards, and micro-breweries. The menu reflects a progressive Californian-style cuisine and some of Chef Daniel's favorite homemade meals. You'll experience the warmth and passion in their work through their delicious wine, beer, and food. Stop by for lunch (Thursday thru Sunday) to try the famous Cubano sandwich. They cater for special events, too.”“Chef Daniel endeavored to be a future industry titan since 2009 when he started to sell tacos late-night to patrons in East LA while going to college. Chef Daniel was most recently the executive chef of Ace Hotel for nearly 6 years and was the youngest, and only, chef within the Ace Hotel brand to be awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand award for his work with Best Girl restaurant along with Michelin starred Chef Michael Cimarusti (Providence.)”“Holy Saints! works with only local farmers to source the majority of the vegetables, fruit, and dairy that go into their dishes.
The wines and beers there showcase the craft and highlight small family vineyards and micro-breweries.”Chef Daniel takes a break from his busy kitchen to join us.
