Chef Christo Gonzales, A Legend Is Gone

Chef Christo Gonzales, A Legend Is Gone, But He Left A Legacy Behind.

His name was Christo Gonzales, and he was a Master in the kitchen. He is gone too soon, but one thing is certain, he has left a mark on so many us, in the foodie world. I didn’t know him personally, but we had been Facebook friends for over 4 years.  I always enjoyed his food posts because they were colorful and appealing to the eyes. He was a character, and had a unique sense of humor. He was a gentle soul, with a passion for creating beautiful dishes.  He graced our news feeds with exotic recipes, and vibrant images of delicious food. He  was a family man, and adored his son, Jackson.  Chef Christo had great work ethics, and always willing to help anyone with any food-related questions. I have compiled some of HIS beautiful food photography for your enjoyment.  After seeing his beautiful work in the kitchen, you will realize why so many people, including myself are affected by his untimely death.
