Chef Michael Castro
Michael Castro is a young Chef who doesn't just love cooking; he truly loves making others happy. Michael's desire to pursue cooking started back when his Uncle, also a Chef, passed away in early 2013 battling leukemia. His Uncle was work driven and an amazing Chef. From that point on, Michael decided to pursue his culinary career. He began working with his next inspiration, his cousin Oscar. Together they worked in multiple restaurants always trying to outdo each other with new dishes and flavors. Unfortunately, in early 2019, Oscar was killed in a car accident and Michael was devistated. Now, ever more focused on continuing his family's passion, Michael has created Modern Elegance to truly captivate the same love and beauty his family has for food.
