Running A Tight Ship

After formalizing his innate culinary skills with formal education and training, Chef Nino did the international scene aboard the luxury cruise ship Holland American Line. This stint exposed him to consumer-demanded Filipino, American, European, and French cuisines. On board, his elbows were greased with this diversity of cultures, techniques, and tastes. Other ship assignments in Florida USA, and Venice, Italy were the rungs on the ladder of success for this talented chef, and soon he was awarded the 5-star excellence award from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences (AAHS). Later on he received certifications in food handling from the United States Public Health Service. He was granted the same certification when he was chef and kitchen manager of O’Shea’s Bar and Restaurant in Alberta, Canada.
