Tapping a Michelin-trained background across Europe, Asia and America, Chef Hendrix Vega is Executive Chef of Sendero at The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles.  Chef Hendrix grew up on the small Spanish island of Formentera where he discovered his passion preparing meals for friends and family.  He developed his ingredient-first approach to cooking in the most innovative kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants across the world including Bouley and Jeju Noodle Bar in New York, L'Effervescence in Tokyo, and Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura in Beverly Hills. Chef Hendrix's extensive travels widened his access to far-fletched ingredients and deepened his appreciation for harmonizing unexpected flavors. His most recent visits to Peru and Mexico drew him to Sendero, where he could experiment with the vast cuisines found along the countries that make up that Pan American Highway. 

Chef Hendrix's passion for creating innovative, Latin-inspired dishes comes to life in the kitchen at Sendero with dishes that are a celebration of flavors from across the globe.
