John Brand – Las Canarias, Pesca On The River
Brand brings more than a dozen years of experience at luxury properties to Las Canarias and Pesca on the River, most recently serving as chef de cuisine at Charles Court restaurant at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. Chef Brand’s vision for Las Canarias introduces a broader variety of Hill Country game meats to the menu, such as buffalo flank steak (a signature Brand dish) and oxtail while a wholesome “lifestyle cuisine” approach is part and parcel to the menu at Pesca on the River, which Brand prefers to as a “spa cuisine” approach. Brand’s enthusiasm for the rich history and vibrant culinary scene of San Antonio is captured in his menus at Pesca on the River and Las Canarias, continuing to delight regulars as well as new guests.
