As a kid, my grandma would always find whatever was in season - and we would eat just that thing — unaltered with the exception of an occasional pinch of salt.

- tomatoes

- melons

- corn

- grapefruit

- strawberries

- etc.

Farmer friends would bring stuff to her house or we visited a market.

These were always eaten at a cutting board with our hands. When I was too small to reach she would set me on the counter.

I am not a chef because I come from a place of elaborate food preparations.

I am a chef because I come from people that enjoy good things together.

This is what what the Beefsteak is designed to be.
