Such an awesome convo. Savio Volpe is one of our fav restaurants in Vancouver and it's actually where we had our first date!</p> <p>Born in Vancouver with Jamaican and Filipino roots, Andrea Alridge says her grandmothers inspired her love of food and taught her the fundamentals of cooking at a young age. Prior to working at Savio, she was also head chef at CinCin in Vancouver.</p> <p>We chat about how her culture influenced her passion for food, the hierarchies of the food industry, any challenges she faced in a male-dominated industry, how important mentorship is, her favourite meal that she's cooked, and what it's like cooking for herself vs group of people.&nbsp;</p>
