Breakin The Law...

As a tribute to the Gods of Heavy Metal and my life-long passion for food, obsession for cooking and hard rock n roll, I offer you up this set of shots to tempt your taste buds…enter Judas Priest and the Taste of Bordeaux! How do the two go together one might ask? They don’t, they exist only in my head.

Enter Breakin the Law…breaking the laws of the normalcy, the mundane, or the routine, and certainly not traditional but with respect to tradition yet aimed at the modern, new and creative…

Livin After Midnight…enjoying all that is good and/or mischievous…in all that we do...in and out of the kitchen…for it is typically after midnight that I find myself delving into the realm of new ideas, long after most have faded into darkness and submitted to slumber.

Victims of Changes…victims of good taste, flavor, and style… for it was a select handful, subjected to an extraordinary meal and gathering of ingredients prepared with love, passion and desire… handcrafted with care, focused on the dedication towards excellence and total immersion of taste, and some great wines from the infamous region that is aforementioned.
