The best part aboutbrcooking and creating a dish is that it brings people together.
With 14 years ofbrculinary experience behind him, Francisco Aquado knows what it takes to preparebra good meal. After spending time in the kitchens of large chains like Fleming’sbrSteak House and Bob’s Steak and Chop House as well as privately owned restaurantsbrlike Fusco’s (owned by Chef Michael Fusco) and La Villa Restaurant at the PhilbrookbrMuseum in Tulsa, Aquado now serves as the executive chef at Winewood. He saysbrthe restaurant’s menu is special because it pairs unconventional ingredientsbrwith those that are more well-known and traditional—like those found in thebrtenderloin bruschetta (tomato jam, arugula and pesto). To Aquado food offersbrnever-ending possibilities when it comes to pairing flavors, discovering newbrelements and creating dishes.
