Chef Michael Chiarello is Budget Savvy
BY Melissa Tosetti
For over a year, I have wanted to interview Chef Michael Chiarello of FoodTV fame. I knew that he grew up in the rural town of Turlock, CA, which is where my great grandparents owned their dairy farm. I had read that his mother was an immigrant from Italy and I had a feeling that he grew up in a budget savvy environment. When I finally had the opportunity to interview him, my suspicions of his budget savvy nature were confirmed. In fact, I walked away from the interview inspired and excited about my own budget savvy life.
