About the Chef: Regina Escalante Bush

Born on August 29, 1988, in Mérida, Yucatan, Regina blends her Yucatecan roots with culinary expertise gained from around the world. Mentored by her American mother, Regina's journey began at seventeen in Portland, Maine, learning alongside Chef Cheryl Lewis. She furthered her skills at the Paul Bocuse Institute in Lyon, France, interning at Michelin-starred establishments in Paris and Marseille, including "La Table de Lancaster" with Chef Julien Rocheteau, "Hotel de Crillon" under Chef Christopher Hache in Paris, and "Le Petit Nice" with Chef Gerald Passedat in Marseille.

Motivated by her deep affection for her homeland, Regina returned to Mérida in 2013. Teaming up with Chef Vincent Ros, they established Merci, where she assumes the role of executive chef. Their restaurant offers breakfast and lunch featuring fresh local produce, with seasonal menu rotations that seamlessly blend global techniques with local flavors.

Experience this unforgettable culinary journey with Regina where she'll be offering a menu of Mexican history with a Viceroy Los Cabos twist.
