Target Food Cost

The ability to mass-produce without compromising technical excellence. My signature dishes designed for absolute standardization, ingredient profitability, and rapid dispatch under pressure.

Fierce Starter

Zucchini Flower Tempura

Focus: Stuffed with white miso salmon mousse. Roasted seeds and a nest of finely mandolined vegetable spaghetti. Zero minute-cooking at the pass.

Hot Station

Wild Garlic Crust Lamb Chop

Focus: Root vegetable cassoulette "pot-au-feu" style, short and dense wild garlic jus infused with dandelion. Millimeter-precise standardization of cooking.

Technical Dessert

Milky Goat Triptych

Focus: Goat milk dulce de leche, raw milk ice cream, porous goat sponge-cake and goat salted butter caramel. Total utilization and controlled Food Cost.
