About Me

Fun loving, classically trained chef who's worked for a who's who of chefs gives it all up to become a suit (banker) and actually afford to live in New York. There's a joke in there somewhere.

When your science teacher smashed a frozen rose with a hammer, did you warm the petals to bring them back to life?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Life moves pretty fast...oh you know how it goes.
