  6. Interview Question • How did you choose to become a Chef for your profession? - I love to eat and enjoyed cooking at a young age, so that I could eat what I wanted. I didn’t consider it a career until after college, when I didn’t know what else to do. I’ve never regretted that decision.

Government subsidies of food we can’t eat, like soybeans and corn. imported ingredients with no integrity. Local is not always better – better is better- but with local food you can examine the means of production and get to know the producers to determine their integrity.
