If I were a spice, I would be…

Chili Margarita….this spice is like a sweet smoked paprika but with lime. Perfect for poultry and all types of seafood.

My favorite local purveyors, artisans, and farmers:

Whole Foods is great but I have my own Fish Monger and Butcher located in West Palm Beach.

What I love about cooking and hospitality…

I simply love food period! All types of cuisines but what I love about cooking is using my technique and seasonings to bring out the most flavor of the dish. And I love making people happy through my cooking. Every dinner is a new experience.
