About Chef Luis Cortes
For Chef Luis, the spark for cooking was lit in the early 2000s when he began working in restaurants and found himself drawn to the rhythm and creativity of the kitchen. Over the last 25 years, he’s learned from seasoned chefs, sharpened his skills through real-world experience, and grown into a confident, inventive culinary leader. Since joining Fleming’s nine years ago, he has embraced his Chef Partner role as both a craftsman and a mentor—leading from the line, guiding his team by example, and always striving to create food that Guests remember long after the last bite. Chef Luis’s style blends bold experimentation with traditional roots. His signature Mushroom Ravioli dish is an example of his expressive cooking. While Fleming’s is known for steakhouse staples, Luis enjoys enhancing the menu with fresh, imaginative additions that complement the classics. His leadership in the kitchen is grounded in equality and collaboration, fostering a sense of belonging among his team. Through the Chef’s Signature Series, Chef Luis continues to redefine what a steakhouse experience can be: comforting, elevated, and undeniably creative.
