Chef Carlos Perez Joins The Silo Cooking School Dream Team

Brace yourselves, food lovers—The Silo Cooking School has leveled up. Chef Carlos Perez, the culinary wizard who redefined @ The Corner in Litchfield, is now joining the all-star lineup of chefs at The Silo Cooking School, under the leadership of none other than Chef Constantine "Dino" Kolitsas. This is big, folks. We’re talking Avengers-assemble levels of culinary greatness here.

If you’ve had the pleasure of eating at @ The Corner, you’ve probably experienced the kind of food that makes you stop mid-bite and rethink everything you thought you knew about flavor. Maybe it was the Hawaiian Truffle Brussels Sprouts—the crispy, sweet, salty explosion that includes pineapple, bacon lardons, honey, truffle parmesan, and a maraschino cherry glaze. (Yes, you read that right.) Or maybe his artichoke risotto or flank steak chimichurri had you tearing up in gratitude. Carlos Perez has a way of taking ingredients you thought you knew and turning them into something daring, electrifying, and unforgettable.

And now, he’s bringing that magic to The Silo.

Here’s the thing about Chef Perez—his talent doesn’t end at savory dishes. This guy trained as a pastry chef. He can create desserts so ethereal they feel like something out of a dream, all while mastering savory plates that smack you awake and demand your attention. That kind of duality? Rare and exciting. It’s the culinary equivalent of watching a punk rocker shred a guitar solo... then switch to a flawless violin symphony.

Chef Dino Kolitsas, the Director of The Silo Cooking School, must be grinning from ear to ear. He’s known for celebrating global flavors, family traditions, and local ingredients. With Carlos Perez by his side, The Silo is cultivating a vibrant, diverse space where people can learn, create, and maybe even change the way they think about food. The collaborative energy of these two chefs? You can feel it already—it’s going to leave a mark.

For Chef Perez, this isn’t just a next step; it's a canvas. A space to create, innovate, and teach. Imagine what he’ll be able to do in hands-on classes, sharing his expertise in everything from vibrant, layered appetizers to delicate, show-stopping pastries. Joining this team means Perez isn’t just serving incredible meals anymore—he’s passing on his signature style, his fearless approach to flavor, his “go big or go home” philosophy to the next generation of food lovers and budding chefs.

This is more than an exciting announcement. It’s an invitation. If you’ve been looking for a sign to tie on an apron and learn from the best, this is it. With Chef Carlos Perez now part of The Silo’s mission of culinary excellence, things are about to get bold, delicious, and downright unforgettable. Get ready to taste something extraordinary.

Welcome to The Silo, Chef Perez. We’re hungry already.
