About Chef Angel

Chef Angel Cardona was born in Ambato, Ecuador and moved to the United States in 1976. He relocated to New York, beginning his career as a dishwasher to understand the foundation of the kitchen for six months. He not only learned the important role dishwashing plays in the kitchen, but he also discovered his newfound love for cooking. When he moved to Rhode Island in 1995, he was thrown right into the action as a chef, happily so. When he brought his passion and dedication to Narragansett, he never looked back. Chef Angel has been the Executive Chef at The Coast Guard House for 14 years. His time there has been spent preparing, creating, and serving dishes that have one required ingredient: love. “When you put love into your food, that is what makes it beautiful.” Chef Angel gives an abundance of gratitude to his wife of 30 years and two sons, supporting his passion. He has thoroughly enjoyed being the executive chef and working with The Coast Guard House family, the owners, team, and all the experiences he has endured as an executive chef.
