Kres Chophouse

Chilet Davilmar's story is one of family, heritage, and a deep love for food. Born and raised in Haiti, he moved to the United States in 2023, bringing with him a lifetime of memories from his mother’s kitchen. She was the one who taught him to cook, and her dishes, especially her seafood soup and traditional Haitian rice, are the ones he holds closest to his heart.

When Chilet arrived in Orlando, Kres Chophouse became his very first job in America. He found the opening online, applied, and was welcomed in by Chef Mary, who took him under her wing and taught him the ropes. Nearly three years later, he’s become one of the most versatile members of the kitchen team, working every station with ease, though pantry and the line are where he feels most at home. Whenever things get busy, he’s always the first to jump in and help a teammate, something his coworkers know and appreciate.

Outside of work, Chilet is a lifelong soccer player, a passion he brought with him from Haiti. Since coming to the U.S., he’s also discovered new favorites like chicken piccata and a good steak. At Kres, he brings the same warmth, humility, and hard work he learned growing up at home, making him a valued part of the family the Kres team has built together.
