I’m a critically acclaimed New York chef known for innovative, seasonal cooking that still respects the regional classics I love. I started in kitchens as a pastry apprentice at Blackbird in Chicago, and I built my craft by working across every part of the kitchen—always chasing better technique, deeper flavor, and a more complete guest experience.

My path has taken me from WD~50 with Wylie Dufresne to Blue Hill at Stone Barns with Dan Barber, and through opening and leading acclaimed restaurants and teams. I’m passionate about sourcing from local farmers, cooking with the seasons, and using a wide range of techniques—from modern precision to whole-animal butchery—so every menu feels alive, intentional, and deeply satisfying.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with heart

Cooking is my love language to the world, and I bring that energy to every course—thoughtful, generous, and built to make your table feel connected.

I’ve been in kitchens since I was 15

I was fortunate enough to start at Blackbird in Chicago when I was 15. I've never looked back from there, and I’ve carried that drive into every role—learning, leading, and refining my craft with every service.

I let ingredients lead the menu

My secret is finding the best local and seasonal ingredients and using the perfect techniques to make those ingredients shine—so the food stays vibrant, honest, and memorable.
