Years of Participation
2023-2025
Dayna Lee is the chef and owner of Comal 864, one of Eater’s “18
Essential Restaurants in Greenville, SC”. She is a 2023 James Beard
semi-finalist for Best Chef: Southeast & has appeared on Food
Network’s “Beat Bobby Flay”. After moving to Greenville, South
Carolina, several years ago, Lee realized that the area did not have
the fresh, flavorful Mexican cuisine that her grandmother raised her
on. After a brief stint in the corporate world, Lee realized that she
needed to combine her two passions: the food of her culture and
customer service with a personal touch–so she set out to bring the
authentic flavors of Mexico to the Upstate. Lee is proud to bring you
Comal 864, a Mexican-American brand that focuses on fresh & unique
flavors that echo the food culture of her hometown in the Rio Grande
Valley.
