Our new Executive Chef, Lannesa Lopez invites you to come by and say hello, enjoy a donut, and get to know her over a cup of coffee!
Until then, here are a few of Chef Lannesa’s faves!
Favorite food to cook: I enjoy trying to cook every cuisine because I love a variety of flavors and cooking techniques.
Favorite food to eat: Spaghetti with fresh spicy Italian sausage.
Favorite book/movie/quote: Book: The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo Movie: Fantasia Quote: “Not all who wander are lost”
Who is your biggest inspiration: My biggest inspiration was my grandmother because she always made me believe I could accomplish anything as well as showed me my love for cooking.
What is your favorite restaurant: It is no longer open, but it used to be Mesa Grill in Las Vegas. I remember my mother took me for my 21st birthday after my first deployment overseas in the army.
If you are a Fantasia or Mesa Grill fan, or if you too have found inspiration from your grandmother in the kitchen – make a note to swing by, enjoy a donut, and get to know your new chef.
This is a wonderful opportunity to let Chef know what you love about the cafe or what you would like to see more of!
