Sami Rodríguez is a chef, an event designer, and an impeccable host. A Miami hospitality curator with a flawless sense of style. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, he developed a love for the arts at an early age. That love turned into passion and led him to the historic Southeast Georgia city of Savannah to pursue a design career and accomplished a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design and Art History at the Savannah College of Art and Design, consistently regarded as one of the best art colleges in the nation.
After college, Sami moved to New York City where his career incorporated fashion, interior, graphic, set design and art curation. In 2002, while working in the art world, he discovered a new love and passion for the culture of cuisine and hospitality. He attended the International Culinary Center, also known as the French Culinary Institute where he trained among award winner and Michelin Star master chefs including Andre Soltner, Jacques Pepin, and Jacques Torres, earning a Grande Diplome in Classic Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management.
