There are few things that I believe in as much as I believe in food. It has the power to bind us together and embrace us with warmth. It’s exciting, and it’s also simply delicious—a perk I can really get behind. I believe that good food doesn’t have to be complicated to be exceptional. I also believe that respecting our ingredients goes a long way, not only in showing gratitude for the food on our plates but also for the quality of enjoyment we find in eating. Most of all, I believe that food should fill us, body and soul. Thanks for being here. Let’s get eating!
