\"Tracy <\/p>\n

Tracy Whipple | Social Media Manager<\/strong>
Tracy’s face still has the mesh imprint from pressing-up against the side of the playpen watching Julia, Great Chefs, the Galloping Gourmet & Sesame Street while mom slept-off the night shift working local greasy spoon. Having grown up in South Florida in a culinarily German-Jewish kitchen manned-by Latke-frying matriarchs, she knew culinary school would help hone those pro skills. Schooling in the Bay Area in the mid-90s, and in such close proximity to the world’s best wine, oenophilia set in\u2014so eventual stints as both Executive Chef & wine director in restaurants & wineries in San Francisco and Napa Valley came to pass. Ever a lover of luscious prose, homespun potation & mirror thespianism, Tracy longs to taunt the 4th wall.<\/p>\n
