SN 5 | EP 208 - RADIO VERSION - Chef | Owner Ramon Velazquez - Corazon Cocina

Corazón Cocina: Ceviche y Mas AwardRamón Velázquez is the only chef to have won two Foodies: first at the original version of Cielito, and now at Corazón Cocina. He’s gifted the Santa Barbara Public Market with glorious tacos, from al pastor to white shrimp to cauliflower, redolent of all the flavors of Mexico yet crafted with the skill of a sushi master Not surprisingly, the ceviche is also an often sold-out hit. “I know it sounds funny and cliché to say this, but we do cook our food with our heart and passion,” Velázquez says. “Like my grandma used to say, ‘If you cook with your heart, everything tastes better.’” We’re talking gorgeous food that attracts gorgeous people ​— ​Charlize Theron and Natalie Portman have graced CC’s counter ​— ​but Velázquez is most excited about the support of L.A. superchef and Mozza co-owner Nancy Silverton. You will have to wait in line, but as Velázquez promises, “We hear over and over from people, ‘It’s well worth it.’”38 W Victoria St.; (805) 845-0282; sbpublicmarket.comThe Santa Barbara Independent - Cover StoryGeorge YatchisinSee why Chef Ramón Velázquez is the only chef in Santa Barbara to have won two Foodies: first at the original version of Cielito, and now at Corazón Cocinacorazoncocinasb.comOn Insta at instagram.com/corazoncocinasb/Corazon is inside the Public Marketsbpublicmarket.comBE THERE at the June Opening of Chef Ramon's new project with the guys from Captain Fatty's Brewery - It's called The Project Cocina & Tap RoomInstagram - The Project SBGrab a brew at Captain Fatty's Brewerycaptainfattys.comOn Insta: instagram.com/captainfattys
