Tell us about one of the most creative dishes you’ve created?
I have worked on a dish over my tenure at five different restaurants that involves octopus, lamb, pistachio, orange, and fennel. The most recent rendition that was on Tonic’s menu for most of our first year was a cured and rolled lamb belly porchetta. After the cure, it was roasted then sliced thin for a flatbread sandwich. To me, it just represents the evolution that some creative processes go through as they adapt to their current environment.

Creating our own little cultural niche at Tonic has been especially rewarding. We all work very hard to maintain a working environment that is healthy, supportive, and inclusive. I am very proud of the team we have and their collective potential.
