Chef Aldis attended culinary school at The Art Institute of Houston and has worked at many restaurants, including some very well-known AAA Five Diamond Resorts. He feels these were the restaurants where he learned the most by getting to cook in the best kitchens with all the best cooking equipment and modern conveniences. Cooking with some of the most famous and well-known chefs from around the world and creating a variety of foods using only the finest and freshest ingredients exposed him to international flavors as well. Some of the restaurants he worked at include Double C Resort, Château de Bayou, and Ritz Carlton – New Orleans were three restaurants he helped open. He also had the pleasure of re-opening Beau Rivage in New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina after they suffered such catastrophic damages in 2005. His favorite and most exciting experience was at Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Chef Aldis has also cooked for Mo’s, Waterman’s, and many others over the years and is now the Executive Chef & General Manager at The West End Marina Restaurants and Bars located in the West End of Galveston, Texas. He is excited to bring his energy and a new and unique menu with a Texas Gulf Coast Cantina flare with a comfort twist. After hearing what people want since he arrived helped him create what the people want in Galveston.
