Chef Jesse Garza
Raised in central California, Jesse Garza began his culinary career in the fast-food industry. A weird jumping-off point for a professional cannabis chef, but hey, we all have to start somewhere. Anyhow, he eventually took a job in food services at UNLV. It was there he discovered his love for cooking. With the encouragement of some established chefs, Chef Garza decided to take his career to the next level.
When Garza moved to Las Vegas he worked as an aspiring chef while attending the Art Institute. With those aspirations in mind, Garza got a job at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa. While there, he worked for a number of restaurants including sports bars, chop houses, and more. With an undying passion for gourmet cooking, Jesse Garza began traversing the Strip, handing out resumes to any kitchen that would accept them.
Later, after working many unpaid hours, Garza, received a career-defining opportunity cooking at the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. During his eight-year tenure there, Garza mastered all facets of food service. Working banquets of all shapes and sizes, room service, and managing an employee dining room, Jesse Garza rose to the position of sous chef at the hotel’s steakhouse, DJT, all by the age of 28.
Finally, Garza decided to make a life-changing career move; leaving his distinguished job at the Trump Hotel. After leaving in February 2019, Garza partnered with LA-based chef Joseph Joudi Saady. The duo opened Blume, a venture in Henderson where Garza could truly demonstrate his creativity and passion for fine dining while holding that coveted creative control over menu items. Once Blume was established, Chef Garza started working on his dream of doing private dinners in the Las Vegas and California areas which he gleefully does to this day.
