Eleazar Fuerte is a talented and versatile chef with a deep-rooted passion for blending cultures through food. Growing up in a vibrant Cuban household in Miami, he was immersed in the rich flavors and traditions of Cuba. This early exposure to bold, fresh ingredients sparked a lifelong love of cooking, which has been shaped by a diverse culinary journey.

With over 20 years of experience working across the country and abroad, Chef Fuerte has explored and mastered a variety of cuisines, from classic French and Italian to modern fusion and international street food.

He has worked in top kitchens, including JW Marriot NYC and Swissotel the Stamford Singapore, where he perfected the art of combining traditional techniques with contemporary flair.

By leading Mike’s Amazing culinary tasting events, Chef Fuerte gets to express himself and his creative journey by curating each festival’s menu. Every dish reflects his life as a world-class chef.

Whether creating a Cuban-inspired dish that pays homage to family roots or experimenting with new global flavors, Chef Fuerte takes pride in offering diners a memorable culinary experience and is driven by a love of creativity, seasonal ingredients, and a commitment to sustainable cooking practices.”
