A native of Union City, N.J., Chef Alexis Hernandez grew up around Latino flavors and from an early age he gained a lasting love affair with food. Our name Union Hill Kitchen comes from the high school our chef attended in Union City, N.J. This school is where an embryonic seed was planted and where his love of cooking was born. At times we will sell out of an item or several items because of our chef’s commitment to making dishes fresh.
Chef Alexis received his culinary degree from Sullivan University’s National Center for Hospitality Studies, one of the top culinary schools in the country. Two years after graduating from school, chef Alexis beat out thousands of hopefuls and became a finalist on the hit show, The Next Food Network Star. Alexis has also been a frequent guest chef on the hit morning show Cafe CNN which is watched by over 35 millions viewers around the world.
