Happy 86th Birthday Mr. Grausman! @rgrausman

I hope you and @debgraus have a great time eating pastrami sandwiches today 🤣.

Thank you for your phone call today. It was amazing to catch up and to give you an update on what I’ve been doing!

If you don’t know Mr. Grausman, he is just the most awesome dude who really made me into the person I am today in the culinary world. He has guided me since my high school days in C-CAP, listened to my story and hardships, and found a path for me that I followed through to become who I am today.

I don’t have any recent photos, so let’s make sure to get one at the C-CAP Benefit on April 1st!! 🥰
