CHRIS
shares his brother's passion. He too has spent the better part
of his life working in food service. He is an accomplished businessman,
specializing in the food and beverage industry. He holds a bachelor's
degree in marketing from Syracuse University and received his
MBA from the University of Maryland. He studied economics at
the Bocconi University in Milan, Italy.
Chris has worked as a sales representative for a New England-based
liquor distributor and as a brand manager for a global food
corporation. He has a keen understanding of what makes a concept,
in this case the complete dining experience, accessible to
the consumer.
He is supported in this endeavor by his wife Tejal and son
Christopher. |
| Siena
evolved out of Anthony's ardor for Tuscan cuisine, which is
fresh, simple and unfettered. Time spent in Italy has had a
significant impact on Anthony and Chris. The traditions of Tuscany
have forever changed their conception of the art of the meal.
The idea of translating these traditions to a modern American
setting seemed very exciting to both. Hence, Siena - Tuscan
Soul Food was born. |
