Chef Clay Carnes, one of Palm Beach County’s hottest chef’s on the scene right now, is excited to announce a brand-new concept sure to take the Palm Beach County dining scene by storm. Cholo Soy Cocina, which is slated to open in Summer 2016, will serve a new kind of Latin street food to the South Florida foodie-faithful. Carnes will be armed with locally grown produce and top–quality meats and ingredients, along with his well known no–nonsense approach to cooking, and will be serving up tantalizing Andean-American selections and tacos crafted from freshly made Florida organic white corn tortillas
“Cholo Soy is our brand’s name. "Cholo" is a slang term in Ecuador for the indigenous people. It also means something “mixed or ghetto.” I came across it written on a wall in a Peruvian restaurant. At that point it hit me “this is perfect” I like the open-ended feel of it as it reflects our cuisine here as "mixed" and indigenous or authentic,” says Carnes.
