As Rancho Santana’s culinary director,
BRIAN BLOCK takes his experience working in New York City’s vibrant restaurant scene and combines it with a passion for sustainability and organic practices. Overseeing both the food and beverage program and the farm and garden project, he strives to showcase food that is as fresh and delicious as it is mindfully grown. Featuring dishes such as coffee-rubbed bone-in pork chops, fresh fish tacos, and raspas (a playful take on paella), the menus at Rancho Santana are carefully curated to bridge the worlds of sophisticated cuisine and rustic fare. From the local staff of chefs and servers working at each of Rancho Santana’s four restaurants, to the gardeners and farmers tending to an ever expanding farm, it is Brian’s goal to leave each guest with an understanding of Nicaragua’s rich culture of cuisine and hospitality.
