Chef's Art


To be a chef is to be an artist.  The plate as the canvas, ingredients the palate, and you...the audience.  As with all art, it's influenced by the experiences of the artist, it tells a story.  Joe grew up in the mountains of Italy, immigrated to New York and then married a southern girl from Alabama. His mothers heirloom recipes influence his authentic Italian style in the restaurant.  For catering, the fusion of Italian, southern and northern techniques bring mouth watering masterpieces.  The culinary creation in the photo is Papa Joe's tenderloin crostini made with leek and shiitake mushrooms and herb crusted tenderloin steak.  Art never tasted so good!
