Juan Carlos Gonzalez

SoBou - New Orleans

After a decade working for the famed Brennan family, Juan Carlos Gonzalez is now leading their latest expansion by blending his Puerto Rican heritage with the culture of his adopted city of New Orleans. His upscale take on Creole street food has landed SoBou a spot on Esquire magazine’s Best New Restaurants of 2012.
