What are you most passionate about?
Every time I put food on a plate it’s a competition and if the plate comes back empty then you know you won!
What is a piece of advice or insight you want to share with operators?
The Pandemic has left the industry with a lot of holes to fill and most professionals just need to ask US Land O Lakes professionals to assist them in getting their menus, profits and establishments to the best level of quality that it can be.
What is your favorite Land O Lakes® product and why?
Extra Melt® American Cheese Loaf is my favorite because with the addition of Chorizo and Cilantro and some fresh tortilla chips I can make it a meal.
