Background Trained at the Culinary Institute of America. Worked at Piccolo Mondo and Caxton Café, Cleveland.

How he got into cooking "After I blew out my arm wrestling in high school, I knew I couldn't get a college sports scholarship, so I started working at restaurants for money."

First food memory "Making baklava with Mom when I was six."

Menu bomb Pot pie with a filling of shrimp and escargot.

Favorite place to eat Aureole, New York City.

Best thing about cooking in Cleveland "Customers are open-minded. And it's my hometown."

Food vice The Romanburger at Cleveland's Mr. Hero. "It's a hot sub with a hamburger patty, piled high with salami and cheese—I call it a heart-attack sandwich."

Recipe tip If you don't have time to make pierogi dough, use store-bought spring-roll wrappers instead.
