Diego Campos: CAMP, Modern American Eatery (Greenville, SC)

Diego Campos, Executive Chef at CAMP, Modern American Eatery, works the chef’s counter like a pro in this Greenville, SC restaurant, chatting and visiting and not looking at all stressed that he and his team are making multiple complicated dishes for multiple tables. He’s just the latest to rise through the ranks of Table 301 Group, a restaurant group with more than 10 restaurants that’s been highly influential in changing the flavor of Greenville’s restaurant scene. The company often takes its growth cues from the passion of its chefs, and some have gone on to eventually buy their restaurant from the group and become a chef-owner. Diego joined Table 301 in 2013, and through the last decade has developed his own techniques and culinary style. CAMP originally opened under Chef Drew Erickson, but with Diego, Mexican flavors and preps are shining brightly on the menu, often with exceptional execution. It’s a mirror for the exceptional creativity and exceptionally bright future for this Greenville chef.
