Pete Balistreri

“Details, details, details.” That’s the succinct business philosophy espoused by Pete Balistreri, executive chef at Tender Greens, a Liberty Station restaurant that specializes in “artisan, farm-to-table cooking.” Balistreri’s right at home in Point Loma, too. He was born and raised there and played sports for Point Loma High before moving on to San Diego State and, from there, to the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. He plans to open a Tender Greens location in Hollywood in early 2010.
