Alexander Calderon-Chau

Senior Sous Chef, Bourbon Steak

Alexander Calderon-Chau is a culinary leader with more than 12 years of professional experience across independent restaurants, smokehouses, and luxury hotel dining operations. His career began in locally owned, mom-and-pop establishments, where he developed a strong foundation in kitchen operations and work ethic.

He currently serves as Senior Sous Chef at Bourbon Steak, where he supports culinary operations at a high-volume, fine dining level with a focus on quality, consistency, and team development.

Beyond his professional career, Alexander values time spent traveling to Florida state parks with his fiancée and their dog, and enjoys cooking at home for his family—bringing the same attention to detail and hospitality into his personal life.
