About Me
Think I got bit by the food bug when I was about 8 or 9. Started baking cakes from mixes, then from scratch. was really good at it, found my self getting creative. i remember helping my dad make "gravy" with all the tomatoes from the garden. a passion just blossomed in my blood for food and a hunger for knowledge about it grew. i can never grow tired of this love. it never can be boring or mundane for me. also love the Mets, my three daughters, Christiana, Victoria, and Alexandra. PEACE, LOVE, & GOOD FOOD rj.

    Hey Courtney,
    Things have changed quite a bit in the past 5 or 6 years. the bar has been raised a bit and the programs and apprentiships are much more involved. when I got certified I went straight for the Executive Chef Certification because I had been in the business for 16 or so years already and had been teaching for three years. so i felt pretty confident about passing. I was also very instrumental in opening our local chapter. I highly reccomend being involved and getting certified each step of the way. rj.

    Thanks! I'm going to be starting Culinary School in July, and I see that you are a certified Executive Chef. How did you get started? At our orientation the chef's were saying that you start out a cook and you work your way up. Is that by promotion, or just by experience?
