Dave Martin is an American Chef who first made a name for himself on the small screen with an unforgettable appearance on the inaugural season of Bravo’s Top Chef. Since the show, he’s gone on from the tube to a busy career in restaurant consulting, events and private chef work. In his down time, he loves to eat, drink and explore, spending as much time as possible traveling and becoming an expert at global cuisine.

While Dave loves the cuisine of every country he visits, his love of Mexican food and Tequila is beyond compare. Dave is excited to share that love, and a piece of Mexico with everyone through food and drink.
