Moisés Hernandez didn’t know how to boil water when he came to the U.S. 20 years ago. Now he’s an executive chef and co-owner of a new upscale restaurant in Crosstown Concourse.
Hernandez, the former executive chef at Houston’s, moved to New York at 18 years old with plans to build a life for himself and live the American dream.
Along with his wife Maggie Murphy-Hernandez and local investor Darrell Horn, he is opening his new restaurant Briza in early November. The restaurant will be located in the former Pizzeria Trasimeno space at Crosstown Concourse.
