I am a trained cook and bartender who is passionate about food, both in flavor and experience. A meal should be about more than filling your stomach, but about creating a memory you'll think back on for years to come with a smile on your face. If food is an art, then it has to be about invoking a feeling, relating to a mindset. Years later when you smell that hint of garlic or peppercorns, your mind should fly back to the night you sat at that table across from your loved ones, and remember how happy you were sharing those plates and glasses, calling across the table with a mouth half-full of food, "You've gotta try this!"
