Drew Deckman arrived in Mexico approximately two decades ago when he finished his education. First he went to Riviera Maya, then to Los Cabos, where he did the two jobs that would define his entire life: chef and fisherman. Finally, in 2007, he arrived in Valle de Guadalupe.

His restaurant Deckman’s en el Mogor is a rustic and open space that offers a variety of dishes whose products come from the chef’s own farms and the ones around Valle de Guadalupe. Other products such as meat are made in Sonora by Familia Contreras.

Drew’s cuisine is sustainable. Beyond its open infrastructure, and the fact that the food is only made when requested, his way of collaborating with the environment is an important part of its functionality. The watering of vegetables is done with recycled water and organic products are used in order to make compost.

In addition, Amazon Prime produced a series about Chef Drew Deckman’s restaurant called Ingrediente: A Restaurant Uprooted that shows the daily experiences of the staff, the kitchen, the clients, and how life goes on in one of the most interesting and warmest restaurants of Valle de Guadalupe.

At the same time, we are also shown the difficulties that they had to go through when the pandemic occurred. Chef Drew’s restaurant is one of many examples of what a lot of restaurants had to go through due to this global event.

The love Drew has for Baja California is one of the things best showcased by this Amazon documentary. His knowledge about the origin of his food and his desire to maintain original flavors are an example of the vocation that promotes the gastronomic products offered by Deckman’s en el Mogor.
