Pete Moreno, a Colorado Springs native and graduate of Wasson High School, has made quite a name for himself in our culinary community.
After 16 years as executive chef at MacKenzie’s Chop House, he joined the popular steakhouse Prime25 as executive chef in July. While it might not have been the best time to start anew in the restaurant business due to the pandemic, Prime25’s loyal customers have kept Moreno a busy chef.
Working in upscale restaurants isn’t new to Moreno. But it’s impressive considering his training has only been in the kitchens where he has been employed, and not culinary school.
