Who is your culinary inspiration?My Father. He came from Italy at a young age. He was never a chef, he was a waiter. He was the best cook. He introduced me to the restaurant business at an early age and the restaurant kitchen. My passion began then.
What would you do with the $25,000?This could be exactly what I need to open a small Italian specialty market with grab and go items. Along with everything being prepared in house. Mario's Mercato
