About The Chef
John Conley was born in Phoenix, AZ, where he got his start in cooking at a young age. With his love of food and cooking embedded early on in life and the inspiration to open his own restaurant, John opened his first restaurant, Salsa Brava, at the age of twenty-one.
John was awarded “Chef of the Year” by his peers from Northern Arizona Chapter of the American Culinary Federation in 2005 and was honored with the President’s Award in 2006 for outstanding culinary skills and community involvement. Since then, Salsa Brava has continued to be recognized both by the local and national cooking communities for the last 38 years.
He loves spending as much time as possible at his home with his family south of the border cooking on the beach, or at his cabin in the wilds of Alaska.
