"Innovation can be repurposing an older recipe for a new connection and experience!" she says.Photo: Courtesy of Someone’s in the Kitchen
What sets her work apart: "We base our success over the years on our loyal customers and our incredibly loyal staff. We try to give back to the community through active participation in worthy causes. Whether it’s a corporate event for thousands, a holiday party for hundreds, or an intimate fete for dozens, the same meticulous attention to detail assures success and client satisfaction every time."
What innovation means to her: "Innovation and food trends can be a tasty conversation. The reality is that people are always looking for the next new thing. Although a taste of the familiar is never far from reach, the truth is that people want fresh on the plate.

We rely very heavily on our fabulous and loyal staff, most of whom have been with us for more than 25 years. We welcome all of the weekly brainstorming and love to test new things together all the time."
Memorable moment: "We recently did a grand opening for a new Porsche dealership. This event was loaded with guests who have been there, seen that, and done that—shall we say a very entitled crowd, indeed! We had a lot of fun with this one, presenting the very high end of superb caviar, which was playfully presented on a handmade potato chip." "This was the big hit of the whole party!" she says of the caviar dish.Photo: Courtesy of Someone’s in the Kitchen
Her all-time favorite food: "I love fried chicken!"
Her biggest hope for the F&B industry: "Companies shaping the future are built from the inside out, which starts with knowing ourselves and our brand. We want to explore how people and businesses are evolving, and continue to be a positive impact on communities as well as the people in our lives through exceptional service, leadership, and innovation. [I'm also excited about] the potential of technology to connect people in a deeper and more meaningful way, and what it means to lead from a place of service to others. I am a firm believer in giving back and acts of loving kindness and charity, particularly to those who could be of no benefit to you."
