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.
