Chef Bret Thompson’s<\/strong> culinary journey began at the renowned California Culinary Academy<\/em> in San Francisco. He honed his skills at esteemed establishments such as Aqua<\/em> in San Francisco, Roy’s<\/em> in Hawaii, and Pinot Blanc<\/em> in St. Helena, California.<\/p>\n

Seeking international inspiration, Chef Bret traveled to Spain to study under Chef Martin Berasategui at Restaurante Martin Berasategui<\/em>, a Michelin 2-star establishment in Lasarte, Spain.<\/p>\n

He further expanded his culinary repertoire in Lebanon at Atlas Caf\u00e9<\/em>, then studied under Chef Bernard Loiseau at La Cote d\u2019Or<\/em> his Michelin 3-star restaurant in Saulieu, France, and then L’Arpege<\/em>, Chef Alain Passard’s Michelin 2-star restaurant in Paris.<\/p>\n

Throughout his career, Bret also had an extensive tenure with The Patina Group, working at multiple restaurants, running catering operations and ultimately becoming the Corporate Executive Chef overseeing all restaurant operations for the entire group. While there Bret garnered accolades, including being named “Chef of the Year 2002” by the Orange County Business Journal<\/em><\/strong> during his time as Executive Chef at Catal Restaurant<\/em> in Anaheim.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Bret moved on and co-founded and became a partner at the iconic MILK Ice Cream Parlor & Bakeshop<\/em> in Los Angeles and he also opened his own Market Restaurant and Catering<\/em>, which he successfully sold in 2014.
\nIn 2015, Chef Bret Thompson<\/strong> joined forces with his wife, Lucy Thompson-Ramirez<\/strong>, to embark on a new culinary adventure as the proud owners of Pez Cantina<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This seasonal, modern, coastal-inspired Mexican restaurant and bar, located in downtown Los Angeles, quickly became a beloved dining destination and in October 2021, they expanded with a new location LA Burrito<\/strong> in Montebello, California.<\/p>\n
