The people behind La Chica

Born from a love of food, celebration, and community โ€” meet the family that makes every event extraordinary.

Chef Bismarck Hernandez

Executive Chef & Co-Founder

Chef Bismarck's passion for cooking began as a young boy helping his grandmother at her restaurant in Nicaragua โ€” from cleaning fish to stealing bites of her garlic shrimp when she wasn't looking. That early love affair with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and the joy of feeding people never left him.

After graduating from the culinary program at Escuela Bellart in Barcelona, Spain, Bismarck worked as a chef in restaurants and hotels across Europe, the Caribbean, and Latin America before settling in Northern Virginia. His professional experience ranges from large Michelin-starred restaurants to small, beloved local cafรฉs in many different countries.

While food from the Spanish and Italian regions are his personal favorites, he brings expertise in cuisines from around the world to every event La Chica serves. That global perspective is exactly what makes every event he touches feel truly special.
