"BY USING FOOD, CHEF SAM IS ABLE TO SHARE HIS LIFE WITH OTHERS AND,
IN TURN, THEY OPEN UP AND SHARE THEIRS WITH HIM." H Magazine, July/August 2010
Noel & Sam Pagán, owners of The Seasons Bistro
Chef Sam began his career at the early age of eight. Under the tutelage of his mother, he acquired the basic culinary skills necessary for a strong foundation. During this time, he also came to appreciate the unity that food brings to people. “Whether it's dinner, dessert, or just great coffee, personal connections through food always unites people.” -– Chef Sam

I've always been involved with food, I don't know anything different. Food is an integral part of my life because of the unity it brings to people. It's what makes people break down their barriers, their apprehensions about others. It's how they let their guard down so you can really get to know them. It was an indelible moment in my childhood watching my parents have people over and recognizing the interaction experienced over a meal. An aroma will bring you back to childhood memories. Those memories remind us of how important people are. – Chef Sam

His eight years of military service in the United States Navy also aided in his culinary development. Chef Sam was privileged not only to serve our great country, but also to travel the world and experience a vast array of differing culinary styles. This also expanded his knowledge of food- from Italy to France to Spain, every country left within him a culinary footprint.
Today, Chef Sam puts his talent and experience into his work at The Seasons Bistro. From savory dishes to decadent Death by Chocolate cake and seasonal cheesecakes, all are a treat to the palate.
