Executive Chef


Description
Southern Proper Hospitality is a group of passionate restauranteurs who will stop at nothing to create unforgettable guest experiences. The mission of our team is to shape the cultural fabric of Atlanta and beyond. We provide a short term escape for diners by creating distinct dining experiences that appeal to our guest’s sense of adventure. Each restaurant offers an entertaining and intimate atmosphere coupled with genuinely hospitable service and innovative fare.
Chido and Padre’s celebrates Baja Mexico’s fresh, coastal cuisine while bringing the fun festive atmosphere back to Buckhead. Our elevated fare includes fresh seafood and mesquite grilled meats paired with bold, authentic flavors from Mexico. Our cocktails are hand-crafted with fresh squeezed juices with flavors inspired by Mexican artists and damn good tequila.

Chido and Padre are the personification of the notion that opposites attract. Chido is the mischievous risk taker while Padre is the do-gooder voice of reason. Together they are the perfect pair; a unique blend that just works.

We can all relate to both friends, but which one will you be tonight?
