Bio coming soon…

Long before Chef Alejandra Bringas became the Executive Chef for Del Mar, she was growing up in Texas and absorbing all the joy she felt while watching her grandmother and mother bake for the family. After finding her passion for baking, Alejandra enrolled in culinary school, where she soon realized she belonged in the hospitality industry.

Alejandra began her career with Cameron Mitchell Restaurants (CMR) in 2015, working at the specialty concept, The Pearl, in Columbus, Ohio. She was soon asked to transfer to Ocean Prime Dallas in 2015. After being promoted to supervisor, she helped open Ocean Prime Naples as a lead trainer in 2016. Shortly after, Alejandra was promoted to Sous Chef in 2018. In February 2021, she accepted the Executive Chef position at Prime Social in Kansas City, and now has returned to Naples as Executive Chef at Del Mar.

Alejandra’s favorite thing about working with CMR is its people. She appreciates the fact that CMR associates always come first and the sense of family. In her experience, her ‘family members’ at CMR have helped her succeed and want her to achieve her goals, no matter how big, or small.

She advises those interested in pursuing a career in the restaurant and hospitality industry to truly love what you do, so it will never feel like work. Alejandra’s mother instilled important values with the mottos, “No seas uno del montón” and “Si tus sueños no te asustan, no son lo suficientemente grandes” which translates to, “Don’t just be one of the crowd” and “If your dreams don’t scare you, then they’re not big enough.” These mottos have served as guiding principles for Alejandra. While she always tries to make her parents proud, she believes it’s equally important to be proud of yourself.

When she isn’t creating in the kitchen and baking dog treats, Alejandra enjoys traveling, experiencing diverse restaurants and local cuisine.
