The pursuit of better food should always be the goal, no matter if you are serving on the finest china or in a paper wrapper.

When I was first starting out as a teenager washing dishes at the Home Plate in Ossining NY, I never dreamed my career path would lead me to building and directing the culinary teams at some of the best-known restaurants and hotels in the country. 

As a Chef, I believe a great food experience starts with the best quality ingredients you can afford. Then handle them with love and care, cook them with proper techniques and finally serve with selfless hospitality.

As a Guest, I don’t want to compromise with my hard-earned money. I want fresh food, when I want it, the way I want it and from someone who genuinely cares about my experience. 

As a Businessman, I recognize the very real challenges it takes to deliver on this promise. Of course, we want to delight every guest every time. How do we do this more efficiently, safely, and profitably than our competition? How do we drive the business with speed and predictability? After all, the health of a restaurant depends on it.
