With an unwavering commitment to social good, I've been steadfastly steering Superfine's ship, making top-tier food choices not just an option but a convenient norm. Under my leadership, Superfine Kitchen, a cherished business in catering for two decades, underwent a metamorphosis. While the pandemic took a heavy toll on many businesses, I perceived it as an avenue to re-imagine Superfine and redefine the standards of grab-and-go gastronomy. We pivoted our strategy to cater to corporate meal programs, fortifying our position with a brick-and-mortar presence in the heart of San Francisco's FiDi district. I've transformed Superfine into a culinary haven with product lines of globally inspired cuisines that serve 1K+ food enthusiasts daily, thanks to a central kitchen that supports our operations. Every morsel, from niçoise salads to the rich chicken masala, is crafted there.

In 2019, I pioneered a standout pop-up artisanal pizza venture in the heart of Marin County. Despite a sea of options, we consistently sold out on numerous occasions. What set us apart? - A slow fermented dough made with 4 different flours that brings the pizza to the level of the finest artisan breads.- A “keep it simple” retail model. - Finely curated toppings driven by my passion for food. Though the pandemic slowed us down, Leolo is set to return with a bang! Stay tuned as our beloved brand is going to show-up in a San Francisco neighborhood soon.
