Jose developed his cooking skills through a steady diet of classic recipes that had been passed down from his Ecuadorian family and he honed his skills in top restaurants in Spain and New York City before settling in Philadelphia. It was then that the chef would launch his restaurant company Garces Group which now owns and operates restaurants in Jose’s hometown of Chicago, Illinois, Philadelphia, PA, Scottsdale, AZ, Palm Springs, CZ and Atlantic City, NJ.
