Back in the day...

In 2004, I got my start washing dishes at the nicest restaurant in town, just hoping for a shot on the line. It was exactly like Bourdain warned—maybe with a hint of Marco Pierre White. Crab cakes were thrown, pans were kicked, and I was hooked. I wouldn't recommend it, but what a beginning. Five years there, three more in Leesburg, Virginia, and now thirteen here in Austin, Texas. I love everything about the culinary world and feel deeply grateful for the journey.
