Lauren works as the tournant at Jag's Steak and Seafood, the most luxurious and contemporary steakhouse in Cincinnati. Sparked by an Easy-Bake Oven as a little girl, Lauren's passion for pastry and the culinary arts bloomed throughout her childhood and into her current career. While attending the prestigious CIA in Hyde Park, N.Y., Lauren met her husband, a USMA cadet. Together they have traveled the country, influencing Lauren's eclectic and free-form culinary style. If she were a food, she says, she would be a sweet and sassy box of chocolates because "you never know what you're going to get, but it's always going to be good!"
