Ronnel Capacia may be on the fast track to chef stardom, but not by taking shortcuts.
Growing up in Guam, he loved helping his mother and grandmother prepare their native Filipino dishes for big family gatherings. Little did he know that busing dishes in the employee cafeteria of the Pechanga Resort & Casino would lead to a promising culinary career.
A decade later, at age 29, Capacia has landed a top spot at the helm of one of resort’s 11 restaurants. He supervises a team of 13 kitchen staff as the head chef of Kelsey’s Sports Bar & Grill. The team serves 400 meals a day – more than double that on holidays – while diners cheer on their favorite teams from a bank of 17 large flat-screen TVs and two giant projection screens.
In less than two months, Capacia has tweaked recipes by replacing frozen with hand-crafted pizza dough and by switching from frozen to fresh meat. He makes items from scratch, including soups, sauces and onion rings, has revamped the appetizers and introduced variations on favorites.
“I’m trying to infuse more creativity to become more of a gastropub,” Capacia said. “I have to be careful about change, though, because the clientele is picky.”
Executive Chef Duane Owen, who oversees all 14 kitchens at Pechanga, discovered the passion that Capacia brought to his positions as a line cook, floater and sous chef at the resort. “He worked hard and managed staff well,” Owen said.
Capacia sees his rise as fulfillment of his family’s American dream. With hopes of a better life and educational opportunities, they moved to Murrieta when Capacia was 15. After school and during summers Capacia worked at a sushi bar, a mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant and chains.
He briefly detoured into nursing school, but quit from boredom. Capacia returned to the kitchen, washing dishes at Pechanga.
The aspiring chef sharpened his culinary skills at the San Diego Art Institute while he continued to work at the resort.
Within three months of joining Pechanga he was promoted to a line cook at Paisano’s Italian. While learning to work faster and more efficiently at its pizza station, he fell in love with his supervisor.
“I kept telling him to get out the way – he was way too slow,” remembers his wife, Lauren Capacia, 30.
The two became best friends and on May 6, 2009, Capacia proposed at the restaurant in front of his family. The two chefs merged their home kitchens and married. They live in Menifee, where they’re raising their 3-year-old daughter, Dakota, and two Australian shepherds.
“I’m so proud of Ronnel,” said Lauren Capacia, who now works at High Limit making dishes for the resort’s high rollers. “I’m real critical, but his flavors are always spot on.” Their home cooking is such a hit, friends ask the couple to post online photographs of their dinners.
Ronnel Capacia moved on from Paisano’s to work at the resort’s food court and Blazing Noodles before hitting the jackpot. He was assigned to the AAA Four Diamond Great Oak Steakhouse, first as a line cook and then to sous chef status.
The introverted Capacia praises his Great Oak mentor – head chef Martin Venegas – for pushing him to be more assertive and creative.
Sam Solasz holds the rare distinction of being a famous butcher, but when he arrived in New York in 1951, he was like many others passing through Ellis Island: a 23-year-old Polish immigrant and Holocaust survivor with $10 in his pocket. “When I got off the ship, people were looking for butchers and I raised my hand," he says. "They asked me if I knew how to make frankfurters, and I said, ‘yes.’” Before losing his family to the Nazis, Solasz was taught the family trade—a skill that would not only save his life, but also give him a better one here.
His first day off the boat Solasz was hired to work at Hygrade Food Corporation—the third-largest meat business in the U.S, which sold frankfurters to a company called Nathan’s Famous hot dogs. While at Hygrade, he improved upon Nathan’s existing recipe, making it more flavorful, and thus was responsible for helping brand the business as we know it today. He stayed at the meat factory for six years, each month setting aside part of his paycheck. In 1957, a month after he got married, and having accumulated $6,500 from his job, he opened Master Purveyors on Washington Street. “I’ve been very fortunate,” Solasz adds. “After experiencing such tragedy in my lifetime, I live my life cherishing every day with my family.”
Over the past 50 years, Sam has grown the company—he now has more than 20 trucks, 50 employees, and two sons, Scott and Mark, who help run the business. Master Purveyors has supplied meat to the 21 Club, Peter Lugers Steakhouse, and the Hilton Hotel chain. This year the Solasz family launched Master Purveyors’ online butcher shop, specializing in shipping fresh prime beef and other premium meats. In honor of National Men Make Dinner Day (there's a day for everything) on November 6, Solasz found time to chew the fat with us about the meat business, what’s the best part of the animal, and what celebrities he’d invite to dinner.
The driving forces are my passion for the business, meat and my family. A typical day begins at 9 p.m when I arrive at the plant. I gather the orders from the restaurants and hotels that were placed earlier in the day, put on a fresh white coat, and go into the plant to pick the various meats for the individual orders. At 1:30 a.m. it’s time to make burgers. I usually spend the next five hours making ground beef and burgers for same-day deliveries and I also inspect the production floor. At 6:30 a.m. I’m at my office to do some paperwork and rest my eyes for a period. At 8 a.m., I go back downstairs to the plant floor and go through the carcasses that have arrived and are unloaded. I go on the butcher bench and work next to the butchers to make sure time efficiencies are not lost. When the plant closes at 11:30 a.m., I go back upstairs to call our customers. At about 1:30–2, I go home and take my wife out for a late lunch (and an early dinner for me). By 4:30, I am home and sleeping by 5. I sleep for about 3.5 hours only to start the day over again. As tiring as it seems, I truly love what I do.
