Meet the Chef

After 20 plus years traveling our country, working as a chef, I find myself in Dallas Texas, during a world wide pandemic, furloughed for 60 days as many are.  A few days into shelter in place thinking of all the people that I have shared kitchens with, I wanted to speak to everyone through my food. 50 states 50 plates was the idea. My research brought me to selecting iconic dishes for each respective state. I found my way to speak to friends, family and America. #my50plates.

Where's the book?

My goal is to eventually publish a cookbook. Check back here for details.
