Happy spring! We’ve weathered a winter of social distancing, and, while still not quite “normal” yet, life is significantly better with a little spring in the air – and for some of us, with a little vaccine in the arm.

Where did you receive your training?

On the job. Starting as a dishwasher at Marabella’s at 14. I recently celebrated 25 years at the Bellevue Tavern, 16 years as the head chef. I’ve had the opportunity to work and learn from a lot of amazing friends and co-workers.

In the northwest corner of Italy, at the foot of the Alps, lies the wine region of Piedmont (also known as Piemonte).

Spring is here and as warmer weather finally approaches, you’ll want to spend more time outside. With a covered deck overlooking the green, Avalon Golf Club offers spacious outside dining, perfect for appetizers and cocktails after a round of golf or a romantic dinner for two surrounded by cozy firepits.
