We first heard from Insatiable restaurant's Owner, Denise Gesek. Denise's passion for the culinary industry began while spending time in the kitchen with her grandparents making gnocchi and other Italian dishes from scratch. Never losing her love of cooking, Denise attended Johnson & Wales and continued her outstanding career by working at prestigious restaurants across the United States, even meeting one of her childhood idols along the way. Today, Chef Denise offers her a menu which highlights European and American classics with her twist on them!
