Who are some of your culinary role models?
Julia Child for sure! She opened professional kitchens to women, proving women can be as driven and focused as men in the back of the house. Peter Marek Sr. is my mentor in the day-to-day world of restaurant culture. He taught me the importance of quality over quantity, doing mundane tasks well every time, and the value of mental and physical mise en place.
