James Beard Award

In 2013, Campo’s chef/owner Mark Estee was awarded a James Beard semifinalist nomination for Best Chef: West, the highest honor for food professionals in North America. Estee’s company for the nomination includes 19 other noted chefs from San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. Estee credits his continued success to his superb Campo team, including Chef Arturo Moscoso.

Mark Estee is driven by a love for authentic ingredients that create true connections between land, farmer, food and diner. Whether it is hand-choosing his restaurant’s produce or meat from a local organic farm or developing new dishes based on his “Whole Hog Philosophy,” Estee believes in building full-flavored food using every portion of every ingredient.

Estee focuses on sharing his restaurant’s success with the community at large, working with local causes and regularly sharing his business ideas with Reno business owners.
