About Camille

My resume in short:

-Grew up in the restaurant business.   (My mother opened her restaurant when I was 11.)

-Lived  in Rome, Italy for 3 years.  (Traveled and ate my way through the entire country as well as others.  Spent a great deal of time in Sicily, as well.  Loved every second of it.)

-Attended culinary school at the Art Institute of Philadelphia.  (Worked as an intern in the Vetri kitchen.)

-Ran my family’s regional Italian restaurant as Head Chef for 7 years.  (Check it out:  Nanis.com)

-Worked at Mario Batali’s Michelin starred NYC restaurant, Del Posto as a FOH and private dining manager.

-Am currently an instructor at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts.

-Watch for me on NBC’s Non-Stop channel for Foodies, Chicago!  (It also airs in NYC, DC, Philly, Miami, Dallas, LA, San Diego, SF at 9:30 on Monday & Friday nights.)

I love exploring a city through its food scene and lucky for me, Chicago has a great one.  You just have to find it!
