WHAT MENTORS HELPED YOU ALONG YOUR JOURNEY OF BECOMING A CHEF?
Even though I have never met Alice Waters, I have always been inspired by her love of farm-fresh and sustainable cuisine. I love that she walks into her restaurant every day asking what she can do to make it better. I loved working for Dennis Terzak at Sole Mio in Chicago. I loved that he had a natural instinct for flavors and that he worked his way up from being a dishwasher to being a world-class chef.
