The San Antonio Restaurant Association has recognized Chef Frederick as one of the city’s finest chefs in an annual Taste of San Antonio culinary competition, where he was recognized as a finalist for an outstanding Southwestern cuisine recipe. When he’s not creating culinary masterpieces and ingenious menu selections, Chef Frederick enjoys spending time with his four children or catching a Spurs game.

Rupert Cuellar, bar and restaurant manager at The Quarry Golf Club, is known for his infused alcohols, ingenious approach to drink creation and engaging personality. As an experienced bar tender in San Antonio for more than 13 years, Rupert has earned the title of “Master of Cincology” based on his mixology skills using Cinco Vodka.

He has been with The Quarry for more than 3 years and when he’s not at The Quarry, you might find him scouting out other restaurants and bars across the country, observing the skills and trends of other locations, yet never revealing his own secrets and ahead-of-the game techniques.

The Quarry Golf Club is located at 444 E. Basse Road in San Antonio, Texas. The Quarry has been in existence as a golf course since 1993, however the venue has only recently entered the wedding market, inviting brides with fewer than 250 guests and a desire to have their wedding at a unique location to opportunity to “begin their marriage on a foundation of stone,” said Riou.
