Embracing a farm-to-fork lifestyle, Chef Anthony Verona is a farmer, hunter and outdoorsman. He says those experiences inspire him daily to implement sustainable purchasing practices in his culinary operations role for a large hospital system. “I love to cook and the instant gratification you get when you create a dish someone enjoys,” he says. As far back as he can remember, Anthony was cooking alongside his mother making Italian “red gravy”—and by age 7, he knew he wanted to be a chef! Be sure to try Anthony’s dish in your café this month.
