How did your love story begin?

1992- Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park Ny. Both of us had come out of committed relationships and being away from home for the first time. We were ready to enjoy our college experience with no attachments. That plan soon went out the window at our first meeting. I never believed in love at first site- but once met, we were inseparable. We both fought off becoming a couple, but each night spending with friends . We would always wind up together - kissing in a dark corner.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Spending our 20’s living in San Francisco as young Chefs. The culinary talents of that time and the energetic vibe of such a young city was undeniable. We truly fell in love with the city and each other . That time and experience solidified who we are and how we approach our lives today- adventurous and always a little dreamy.

What would you do with $20,000?

Continue our adventures-and takeover Europe. Or responsible adulting?? No definitely Europe and beyond ;)
