Best Chef

Paula DaSilva

Paula DaSilva is an all-around rock star in the kitchen. The Brazilian native and former Hell's Kitchen contestant (she actually appeared on the show while working as chef de cuisine at 3030 Ocean) left the Broward restaurant scene to start 1500 Degrees in the Eden Roc. Her first year there, she earned a spot on Esquire's New Best Restaurants in America, and she's gone on to participate in numerous James Beard House dinners since. If that doesn't earn you kitchen cred, we don't know what does. We were proud, obviously, but our hearts and palates yearned for DaSilva to return to Broward. Fortunately, our innermost wishes were granted. After her mentor, Dean Max, departed from 3030 Ocean last year, we got our girl back, and our little hearts couldn't be more content. DaSilva has been reinventing the menu at the distinguished Fort Lauderdale restaurant with the rustic farm-to-table cuisine that made her a national culinary star. And we've been reaping the rewards with our taste buds ever since.
