Growing up in New Jersey and being from a “SEAFOOD” family (Which means We “SEE FOOD” and eat it) I was fortunate enough to be around many great cooks and to really appreciate good food. My Mother was an outstanding cook who could whip up a great meal from nothing. My Dad loved everything about food and he was famous for talking about amazing meals he had with loved ones and family and was always willing to try something new. So, it was a great thrill for me to meet Geoffrey Zakarian, Iron Chef, Food Network star and restaurateur, while on a culinary trip to New York City. I had an amazing dinner at one of his NYC restaurants called the Lambs Club. I had a martini at the bar and the best lamb chop to ever cross these lips. Like the Iron Chef, I’m passionate about cooking and I love nothing more than when people enjoy my food creations.

It was an honor meeting Mr. Zakarian and if he comes to Vegas, I will hopefully get to return the favor and cook him an amazing meal!
