Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a Michelin starred chef? Well you’ll find out today because my guest is Michelin-starred Chef Drew Deckman! Drew grew up in Peachtree City, GA. After graduating from Rhodes College with a degree in Philosophy, he embarked on a culinary journey that took him thru Europe, and that journey included working with some of the biggest names in the culinary world, and earned him a coveted Michelin star for his work in Restaurant Vitus in Germany as well as 2003’s Rising-Star Chef award while executive chef at the Four Seasons in Berlin.
After many years of working here and abroad, he finally found his home in Baja, Mexico, which is just south of the border in California. He is the proprietor of Deckman’s in Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico, an area that has grown into an exciting new wine and culinary scene.
Ever the Bulldawg fan, Drew generously donated two 5-course meals from his acclaimed restaurant in Valle de Guadalupe to support the San Diego Alumni Chapter’s local scholarship fundraiser last year! He keeps his restaurant doors open to all fans of Bulldawg Nation!
