COMPETITION: Bacon World Championship
I have spent the last 23 years working in different restaurants around the country. I settled in Missouri in 2015 and worked with my EC that introduced me to competitive cooking. In the recent years I have switch to a operations roll with Sodexo and share my love of food often with the chefs I work with everyday.
