Wine Talk with Marcia

Winner of Food Network’s Extreme Chef Mexican Showdown Chef Amadeus’ love for food was cultivated by his Puerto Rican grandmother and Philadelphia-born mother. Countless hours in the kitchen with the two women where he learned to create delicious, home-cooked meals—is what drives his passion today.

On a visit to the Pacific Northwest, Chef Amadeus fell in love with the freshness of the food and wine country. There, he acquired more fans of his unique style of cooking. Chef Amadeus calls it world fusion, and uses his own blend of salt free spices called SOUTHERN PASSION to season his creative, visually appealing and taste tantalizing dishes.
