I started out washing dishes and cleaning the restaurant while attending University, then on to the kitchen as a prep-cook, line-cook and Forno oven cook. I developed a love for cooking thanks to my experience in the kitchen. From the kitchen I was lucky to be one of the few to make it on to the floor, serving and bartending for customers. This is where the foundation of my customer experience and service knowledge comes from.Good times, noodle salads! 🥗
