WHAT I'D EAT FOR MY LAST MEAL

I love steak and lobster so it would be a prime ribeye with a sweet Australian lobster tail.

“What I like about consulting is creating delicious menu offerings to enhance our client's concepts and identifying operational issues that lead to transformation of the concept and restaurant team once the plan is implemented.”
