Chef Ruby integrates her deep knowledge of human psychology into the dishes she produces to create a sublime experience for every patron
Blue Grill Yas Island amps up their service this Spring with the hiring of new Head Chef, Ruby Alfaro Comia, who is clad with over a decade of experience in the kitchen and has an inclination for food for thought, literally. Ruby integrates her deep knowledge of human psychology into the dishes she produces to create a sublime experience for every patron through her flair for flavours and service. Ruby’s first display of panache through her pans and service with her team starts this 20th and 26th February with Nonna’s Family Brunch and the ‘Chef’s Table’ at Blue Grill.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Lyceum Of the Philippines, Batangas, Philippines in 2001, Ruby realised the significance of dopamine release through consuming excellent food, then used her combined understanding of chemistry in the human brain and love for food to pursue a career in the culinary industry.
Moving to Dubai, she worked her way up from the bottom in 2006, beginning as a Sushi Teppanyaki Chef in the 5-star hotel, Al Bustan Rotana Hotel in Dubai, before continuing to work Chef De Partie roles in 2007 to 2013 in Intercontinental Hotel, Dubai Festival City and Warehouse Asian fusion restaurant & lounge.
She took her career to new heights and challenges as she stepped into the senior roles of Sous Chef when she worked for Le Meridien Dubai Hotel and La Ville Hotel Autograph Collection between 2013 and 2017. Showing shining standards of service and quality cuisine, Ruby saw her first promotion to Head Chef in La Ville Hotel, where she then led menu planning and overall management of the kitchen staff.
Embodying her prowess through 12 years of experience in the kitchen, Ruby wishes to extend her proficiency and outstanding qualities as a Head Chef to lead the team and provide excellent service to the customers of Blue Grill, Yas Island Rotana.
This 20th February, Ruby Alfaro Comia will lead the Nonna Night Brunch at Blue Grill, that will feature a decadent ‘Family Style’ Brunch, offering new takes and twists from the fine-dining steakhouse to every appetite and age starting from AED250. An unveiling of a special menu courtesy of the new Head Chef will take place on the 26th February, inviting tables of up to 10 persons to experience a truly sensational 4-course menu from the grill as well as special beverage offerings and euphoric entertainment priced at AED250 per person.
