Terranea Resort Announces Two Promotions Within Food & Beverage Program
Terranea Resort, A Destination Hotel, proudly announces two new appointments within its Food & Beverage Program: Chef Bruce Nguyen as Executive Sous Chef of Terranea Resort and Chef DJ Eusebio as Chef de Cuisine of bashi.
Celebrating seven-plus years of service at Terranea Resort, Chef Nguyen will assume the position of Executive Sous Chef. In this new role, he will assist Executive Chef Bernard Ibarra in the daily supervision of the resort’s entire food operations, including eight dining venues, the in-room dining department and the banquets division. Since the start of his career with Terranea, Chef Nguyen has consistently demonstrated his culinary prowess at Cielo Point, Nelson’s, catalina kitchen and most recently, bashi in the role of Chef de Cuisine.
“Chef Nguyen continues to be an important asset to Terranea’s Food & Beverage Program,” says Terranea Resort Executive Chef Bernard Ibarra. “As Chef de Cuisine of bashi, Chef Nguyen has taken our guests through a gastronomic tour of Asia, serving authentic and mouthwatering creations. The promotion to Executive Sous Chef of the resort is well-deserved, and we look forward to seeing him excel in this new role.”
Chef Nguyen passes the reins of Chef de Cuisine of bashi to Chef DJ Eusebio, an integral member of Terranea’s culinary team. Since joining the resort in 2012, Chef DJ Eusebio has expanded his epicurean repertoire as Sous Chef of In-Room Dining and most recently leading 10-30 Café, the resort’s employee dining room. Prior to joining Terranea, Chef DJ Eusebio worked at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Manila, as well as The Resort at Pelican Hill and The Cannery Restaurant in Newport Beach, California.
“With his natural talent and interest in Asian cuisine, Chef DJ Eusebio’s new role as Chef de Cuisine of bashi couldn’t be more fitting,” says Terranea Resort Executive Chef Bernard Ibarra. “His ability to explore international creations and cater to any taste make him a natural fit for the position, and we are excited to watch as he unfolds a new dimension of bashi.”
