Maria’s on Bell Boulevard is in the capable hands of Chef Maria Petridis, who has won the stomachs of her children and the judges on Chopped. While she grew up peeking over her mom’s shoulder to watch her make traditional Greek food, her children grew up encouraging her to experiment with her food. Maria’s now specializes in homestyle Greek cuisine, bringing out traditional flavors with a modern twist. Chef Maria Petridis’s goal is to make every person who comes to dine at Maria’s feel like family.
