Fire It Up Catering

Meet The Chef

Hello my name is Gabriel Moya. Ever since I was a kid I have always wanted to cook. I can remember at the young age of 6 I was trying to cook for my mom. I remember being at my grandmothers house growing up in Matamoros, Tamaulipas . A.K.A "Heroica Matamoros"  which sits on the southern bank of the Rio Grande, directly across the border from Brownsville, Texas.  I recall my mother telling me once that she woke up early one morning as she did every morning. And couldn't find me.As she looked around the corner there stood a little person in his pajamas see thru blond hair standing on a chair in front of the stove with eggs and some tortillas. She Yelled "GABRIEL what are you doing "?  As I turned around with a smile and a sense of accomplishment a proud little chef could give a mother  " I was making breakfast in bed for you!" I said. This is the moment I knew that I loved to cook.  Fast forward to my teen years when I would wake up on Saturday mornings my dad asking me to cut the grass  mom cooking breakfast and all I wanted to do was go to the kitchen and just see my mom cooking. I would stare for ever and just get mesmerized at how she would add herbs, butter and  stir the food.  I was hooked!. The smells that came from the kitchen of my moms and my grandmothers kitchen were just some of the smells that to this day remind me of HOME. I can also see the first time my dad showed me how to start a fire on the grill outside. I will tell you this, it was the last time he ever started a fire again.  Now I can bring the same smells and tastes that omitted from my family's home straight to yours! I have been classically trained in French cuisine know to be the best in the world for influencing the Italians,  Spanish, and Europe itself! Let us create that special event for you and yours that WOW factor that you have been wanting to and expect from anyone who caters your next event!
