Hello,

Now a weekend warrior, I grew up in the New Orleans area cooking for fun since I was 6. I worked at a few New American restaurants in Louisiana including The Dakota in Covington including work for Cuvee in New Orleans. Staying in the lineage, I served at Juban's in Baton Rouge and eventually took a cash cow job at Sullivan's Steakhouse in Baton Rouge.

Throughout those 7 years, I played around and picked up as much as possible from some amazing chefs. Now, my wife and I live in the bay area and love nothing more than an elaborate meal, especially when cooking for groups of 10-20 friends.

Aside from cooking, I have traveled through over 30 countries and look forward to potentially living in Paris over the next 12 months! This forum looks like a great network and I look forward to contributing.

Cheers,

Joe
