Chef's Philosophy: We Need to Gather Around the Table

"For me, food is art. Food is elemental. Food is emotional. I embrace simplicity as elegance on the plate, a sense of urgency in the kitchen, and an unwavering commitment of excellence in serving the guest. But most of all, God, family and friends will always come first in my life, with the dinner table being the gathering place where it all comes together. Food is the best way to bring people together and allow fellowship to create memories. Everyone who dines at our tables on the SimpsonU campus are welcomed as friends and family. Come join us at the table."
