beautiful sauce with that. right in front of that we have our oil we've infused with garlic and basil. after it's all out, we incorporate it together and that's where all the magic happens. >> oh yeah. that smells amazing right there. i think anything you put in there is going to taste fantastic. >> you put it in the dish. right before that you just mixed it all together? >> we go with a little fresh basil, a little peperincino and parmesan cheese. >> this looks delicious. tell us you you got your start. you went to the french culinary institute. >> after moving from chicago i thought it was time for a change from the corporate world so i wanted to cook. i can't really sit in front of a computer all day so i really wanted to do something else. i decided to come to new york, went to french culinary institute. i started off at august restaurant and after that it was all history. >> all history.
