Get to know me better

Might as well have been born with a spatula in my hand, I have loved cooking since I was a boy and continue to refine my practice my passion as a chef

I have been working professionally as a chef for the last ten years. I have had the privilege of cooking for high-end James Beard award winning chefs, as well as local New Orleans legends. Although being a professional chef demands a liking for all types of cooking, I personally love my cooking the food of my Italian-American roots. My food is described as simple, yet dynamic in execution. I like to source local product and proteins from the gulf states, as it protects southern food ways and provides a level of flavor and texture that is impossible to replicate otherwise.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

Cooking for me is like a practice in meditation. Treating the ingredients with respect in transforming them into a composed dish.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook through working in difficult kitchens that relied on impeccable technique. Working hours for free before my shifts, I learn so much.

A cooking secret...

Restraint is my best ingredient. Instead of having 10 components, have 3 or 4 that work together really well in balance for a dynamic bite.
