About Chef Luis Bruno
Good health is most important to Chef Luis, former Executive Chef for two Mississippi Governors’ administrations, whose inspirational story includes maintaining a non-surgical weight loss of 200 pounds
through exercise and healthy eating. Not that long ago, he weighed 400 pounds when personal health
issues and uncontrolled diabetes forced him to close his restaurant in 2003 when his doctor gave him just five years to live. One year later and half his size, he had turned his life around and his weight-loss efforts melded perfectly with incumbent Governor Haley Barbour’s dedication to the health of the people of Mississippi. Barbour asked a healthy, slim Bruno to return as executive chef at the Governor’s Mansion, where he remained until his appointment with the Hilton Jackson.
Chef Luis is a frequent motivational speaker on how he succeeded losing weight. His cookbook, “Don’t Feel Guilty, Eat It!” is a collection of favorite recipes with healthful ingredient alternatives. His new line of spices, Bruno’s Eclectic Spices, are featured in many of his uniquely delicious dishes. Chef Luis also collaborates with Mississippi’s premier designer glass company, Pearl River Glass, where a portion of proceeds go to the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi.
