Meet Our Chef
Chef Cristian Flores brings more than two decades of culinary experience to Bistango. Originally from Santiago, Chile, he moved to the U.S. at 13 and later studied at Le Marmite Culinary in New Jersey. His career has taken him through kitchens across New Jersey and New York, including Trap Rock Restaurant & Brewery, Princeton University, and Bloomberg Corporation.
With a New York State Culinary Instructor degree and a passion for farm-to-fork cooking and butchery, Chef Cristian brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach to the Bistango kitchen. His appreciation for seasonal ingredients, commitment to quality, and love of sharing his craft are reflected in every dish he creates.
