"From my mind, Chef Chance represents the hard work and dedication that we need to persevere in a challenging industry," said Garces."He's a prime example of the best of food culture and entrepreneurship. His drive to succeed is compelling. It's fantastic to have an opportunity to host so many food cultures under one roof. We're very excited to be able to introduce Filipino cuisine to our guests at Volvér. "
