Meet Angie
Born and raised in New Jersey, Angie has always had a passion for food and hospitality. She humbly began her career at 15 composing bread baskets and plated desserts at a local Cuban Restaurant. After receiving her bachelors degree from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, Angie continued her journey pursuing hospitality. Having worked as a Captain at Common Lot in Millburn and exploring management at Viaggio Risorante & Osteria Crescendo, she decided to try her hand at entrepreneurialism and found success doing diet focused meal preparations for her local community. She’s now partnered with friend and Chef Alexa Clark to bring about Taste Buddy.
