About Chef Angeles Santiago
Chef Angeles found her culinary calling at 18, when a simple line cook job awakened a deeper purpose and passion. What started as a way to find direction soon turned into a fulfilling career built on dedication, self-teaching, and mentorship from seasoned chefs who recognized her potential. Over the past 10 years, Angeles has refined her craft by exploring new cuisines and techniques, all while staying true to her roots in Mexican cooking. Her favorite creation—her grandmother’s Mole—is a tribute to her heritage, infused with tradition, love, and personal pride. As a Chef Partner at Fleming’s for the past year, Chef Angeles leads with a transformational mindset, always striving to uplift, inspire, and empower her team. She believes in cooking every dish as if preparing it for loved ones, and she approaches each service with discipline, passion, and fun. From consistent execution to delivering heartfelt Guest experiences, she goes above and beyond to ensure every plate leaves a lasting impression. Whether crafting signature entrées or patiently perfecting the restaurant’s decadent Chocolate Lava Cake, Chef Angeles brings warmth, purpose, and energy to the Chef’s Signature Series—where tradition meets innovation and every meal tells a story.
