Q: What defines your work as we move into summer? What are you most excited about or looking forward to?
A: As always my work is defined by the season and what local, fresh produce is available. I am counting down the days until peaches are available.
Q: What kind of bike do you ride and what got you into riding motorcycles?
A: I actually ride a Vespa scooter, but for Chefs On Bikes I will be riding on the back of a Harley!
Q: When was your first Chefs on Bikes and what part of it holds the most appeal to you?A: This is my first Chefs on Bikes. I suppose the greatest mystique will be seeing what everyone looks like when not in their chef whites, but in biker black….
Q:Is there anything else you’d like to share with customers or readers? A: I just want to encourage people to get involved with Share Our Strength and their work to end childhood hunger. I used to work for Share Our Strength so this organization and their mission hold a special place in my heart.
