Chris Santos Biography

Chris Santos is a celebrity chef, restaurateur, Executive Chef, and television personality who graduated with honors from Johnson & Wales University.

His subsequent culinary venture was the launch of "Beauty & Essex" in 2010, a 250-seat, 10,000-square-foot restaurant, which further solidified his reputation in the food industry. Adding to his portfolio, he is scheduled to open "Stanton Social Prime" at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in 2023.

Aside from his restaurant enterprises, Santos was named Star Chefs Rising Star Chef in 2007. He released his first cookbook, "SHARE – Delicious and Surprising Recipes to Pass Around Your Table", in 2017.
