I was born/raised in Chicago. Staying in Pensacola for a few months then moving to Austin. I'm planning on studying vegan and raw vegan cuisine at the Natural Epicurean in Austin and the Matthew Kenney Academy in Santa Monica. Eventually I will break into the restaurant industry, sometime in 2013. For those of you visiting Chicago, Chicago Diner was my favorite place. I've probably eaten there 200 times. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!
