Guillermo Teodoro Borraz Ardid

Muy queridos Jacqueline, Anabelle, Miguel and Jacqueline,
Este gran amigo ha dejado un profundo vacío a sus amigos y a los que lo rodean. Como contaba en su época de colegial, después del desayuno, se metía unas aceitunas en los bolsillos para disfrutarlas a la hora de almuerzo. Y un buen día el y otro amigo se fueron a Suiza a un buen restaurante a comer rico! Allí comenzó la gran hazaña por la que fue reconocido como el primer chez de San Antonio. Los visitamos en cada viaje que...

Mrs.Ardid and family,
So sad to hear of this wonderful Gentleman's passing but yet he brings memories of my Father Gregory Guajardo Sr.from La Louisian.My Dad had a great deal of respect and admiration for "El Senor Ardid" I remember small get togethers that just were better than any fine dining restaurant you could think of! Joys of giving and sharing were the greatest lessons a little guy could ever learn! I know they are up there cooking and serving "El Senor" God bless you and your...

Correction, the last time we ate at Chez Ardid was New Years Eve 1998. Ceci Osherow

My husband and I were very sad to hear of Guillermo Ardid's passing. We read today's article in the SA Express News.

We first met Guillermo and family in 1977 when they opened up Chez Ardid at 7701 Broadway, Dijon Plaza. Later they moved to 1919 San Pedro. What a wonderful restaurant. It was a real treat to go there for lunch or dinner and special occasions. We have so many good memories of Mr. Ardid. We were there for dinner New Years Eve 1997. I think that was the last time we ate...

Dear Jacqueline, Annabelle, Miguel, and Jacqueline: All of you were such great friends to me and my family. One of the greatest memories I have of William was the night I was dining in your wonderful restaurant on the night I graduated from law school, and William brought me a bottle of wine that was the most wonderful wine I had ever tasted. He made me understand how special he and this place were. I will never forget that day. My love to you all

Wonderful memories of dining at Chez Ardid. Meeting this fine gentleman was truly a gift. Rest in Peace, Chef Ardid

Guillermo will live on in all of you. Those of us who had the honour to have met him and spent time with the family will treasure the memories. For me, the time in San Antonio, and many years later in Los Olmos, welded a friendship I shall always hold dear. The warmth with which he received me in your home and made meals for us with great enjoyment, tells a tale of a selfless, generous human being with great qualities about enjoying what is life, quite simply, and giving to others. May he...

Nothing but love and respect for this great man !

Anabelle I have you in my prayers. Your dad sounds like he was an amazing gentleman. He certainly passed on his culinary talent to you. Peace to you and your family.
