About The Commissary and Chef Rogelio
The Commissary at the Presidio has been selected as one of the San Francisco Chronicle's Top 100 Restaurants in Northern California for three consecutive years.
Born in Mexico City and raised in Los Angeles and Napa, Rogelio Garcia began his culinary career in high school as a dishwasher for a restaurant in Yountville. During stints at Napa's Hurley and Angele, he spent his days off staging at Yountville's Redd and San Francisco's Michael Mina, until Angele's Bettina Rouas recognized his desire to grow and helped him land a job at Cyrus in Healdsburg. Positions as Sous Chef at Calistoga Ranch and Chef de Partie Thomas Keller's French Laundry followed. When an opportunity arose to return to Angele as Executive Chef, Rogelio spent the next three years there creating classic dishes with a twist. At The Commissary, Executive Chef Rogelio collaborates with Traci Des Jardins to create Spanish-influenced California cuisine inspired by the rich history of the Presidio.
