William Torres
...
William Torres developed a passion and love for food and cooking at a very young age while watching his Grandfather and Mother cook in the kitchen.
This passion was the driving force in his attending the California School of Culinary Arts in Pasadena, CA. where he graduated with top honors in 2003.
While attending C.S.C.A., he gained valuable experience in the kitchen working on events for Spago Catering, Patina, The Playboy Mansion, and Aubergine's in Newport Beach.
Will began his culinary career at the elite West Hollywood hotspot KOI for a year working his way through the different stations in the kitchen and taking on a leadership role.
Making a choice to be closer to his family, Will moved to the central coast and began working as the Sous Chef at JUSTIN Winery in February 2005.
Will left JUSTIN to take on an instrumental role in the menu development and kitchen operations as the Executive Sous Chef of the recently opened Level 4 in Downtown Paso Robles.
...
Will is now back as the Executive Chef at JUSTIN Winery and has made the menu his own demonstrating his distinctive cooking style while trying to use fresh, organic, and local ingredients.
Will is elated to have the opportunity to bring a new culinary venture to the JUSTIN Family.
When not busy in the kitchen or staying current on new culinary trends he loves to spend time with his wife Kari, and their fifteen month old daughter Madisyn.
