Miguel Rodriguez | Jorge Zamorano

Chef Miguel was born in 1959 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  At the age of 19, he moved to New Orleans where he received his Bachelors Degree in Arts from Loyola University.  There, Miguel began experimenting in the kitchen of different restaurants in Louisiana like Drusilla Seafood, The Common Point and The Jefferson Country Club, where he learned the essence of Creole Cuisine.

After ten years, Miguel moved to various places across the nation like New York City, Florida and finally the Nations Capital, where he became the Executive Chef of the Embassy of Argentina for the next eleven years.

In January of 2001, he decided to merge his Caribbean heritage, his Creole passion and diplomatic flair to create the unique cuisine of Starfish Café.
