At the heart of Casa M lies an extraordinary journey that shaped its very existence. Founded by Santiago Gómez Valderrama, this culinary haven emerged from a path of determination and passion.
Gómez story is one of inspiration. From a young age, he looked up to renowned chefs like Osvaldo Gross and Sumito Estévez, sparking his unwavering love for food. Despite initial setbacks, Gómez embarked on a gastronomic pursuit, tirelessly studying and honing his skills.
His culinary adventure took an unexpected turn when he ventured to Angola, Africa. Little did he know that this would become a pivotal moment in his life. Gomez found himself kidnapped and trapped for seven long months, but his resilience and passion prevailed. He managed to escape, returning to Colombia with a renewed determination to pursue his dreams.
With his home in disrepair, Gómez worked diligently at renowned restaurants, tirelessly rebuilding and fueling his culinary aspirations. Along the way, he discovered his talent for creating unforgettable barbecues that captivated the taste buds of friends and family.
