Chef Miro's culinary journey started out in his early childhood in his grandmother's kitchen, where he would spend his free time helping his grandparents cultivate their garden and tend to the livestock. He could often be found next to his grandma cooking family favorites, preparing preservatives, and curing meats. While Miro loved the tranquility afforded by rural life in Armenia, he soon realized that it would also be the roadblock preventing him from realizing his full potential as a chef. This led him to immigrate to Los Angeles, where he could learn and hone his craft by working alongside some of the most talented chefs in the world. In the last decade, his drive, exuberance, and passion for gastronomy has been a tremendous asset that has propelled him from working as a kitchen porter for a small family restaurant to his current position as the Sous Chef for the L.A. Athletic Club.
