A graduate Dallas™ Thomas Jefferson High School, Chef Manuel “Manny” Vera discovered his love of cooking at the age of seven in his mother Julia’s kitchen. A culinary calling led him to Truluck™s, a mere eight miles south of TJ, where he signed on as a prep cook. Dallas runs deep in my blood, and is a big part of who I am, says Chef Manny. I am blessed to do what I love, in a city that I love.
Fast forward through a 20-year tenure at Truluck™s Uptown, and you™ll find Chef Manny at the helm of all things culinary, and a partner in the organization. The freshest seafood, prepared in innovative ways. Crab from around the world you can™t find anywhere else in Dallas. Constant innovation is a must. But timeless classics bring great pride and joy to a Chef. My personal favorite is a beautifully marbled ribeye cooked with just the right crust. No guest grows tired of seeing it, and I™ll never grow tired of serving it. says Chef Manuel Vera.
