At the beginning of the week, I roast a ton of vegetables so I can use them for the next few days. I also plan out meals in advance.

I always want my guests to be happy and impressed.

I am a glutton for a beautiful hotel. I am so easily smitten by high thread counts.

Because I travel so much, I bring my workout clothes and shoes wherever I go. That way I can always do some exercise.

I eat for a living, so working out is definitely part of my job, the same way that the eating, tasting, and drinking is.

I run a solid 4-6 miles at a time, and over the last year two years I've gotten really into SoulCycle. It's sort of an evolved form of spinning.

I love The Inn at Palmetto Bluff, an Auberge Property in Bluffton, South Carolina. Its a spectacular corner of the world, with massive old trees lined with Spanish moss, and alligators swimming in the river.
