Cesar Ruiz

Chef de Cuisine

Arizona native Chef Cesar Ruiz lived in Northern Arizona where he found his passion for culinary arts. Coming from humble beginnings, he never thought food was where his heart belonged for a career but as a kid visiting Sonora, MX, he was always intrigued with the ingredients and techniques that went into the food of his culture.

While working in Sedona for some well-known Resorts with talented Chefs is where Chef Cesar found his love and passion for food. After making his way to the valley of Phoenix to grow his knowledge of culinary experiences, Chef Cesar's love for a variety of cooking techniques and cuisine from all over the world grew into where he gets to share that passion for culinary arts as Chef De Cuisine at Omni Tempe at ASU.
