Please Join me as I welcome Cher Jenna ArcidiaCono, owner of Amore Trattoria. \\xa0

I first met Chef Jenna, when she was one of the four Grand Rapids Chefs that were being featured on the very first GR Chopped . \\xa0

I had the privilege of being able to sit with Chef Jenna's friend that evening and let me just tell you, her tribe is the ride of die kind.\\xa0 If I knew nothing else about her, the love that her tribe has for her would have shown me what a remarkable woman and impact she has had on this world. Later that night, as I got to know Chef Jenna and her tribe over cocktails at a local restaurant, I felt truly honored to be sitting at a table with so many people, that have had so much impact for good in the world!\\xa0 That night for me was truly a blessing and a huge part of why I got started with this podcast. \\xa0

Jenna has become widely known for how huge heart and helping hand in the community and has been honored on several occasions for her efforts in trying to make this world a better place, one food hug at a time. Normally, Chef Jenna is the one making sure everyone else is taken care of so it was amazing to see that she was recognized with a check for $10,000 and featured on Mike Rowe's show, Returning the Favor!\\xa0

During this time of Corona, many of the restaurants are in serious trouble of closing and we talk about the ramifications that this has had not only with the virus but with the rioting as well.\\xa0 The hard truth of the matter, if we don\\u2019t support our Local Restaurants now they may not be around tomorrow.\\xa0 Amore is one of the restaurants that have chosen not to open until they can be at full capacity due to the high costs of operations it takes to keep the inside up and running for the public.\\xa0 They are and will continue to stay open for pick up until then. \\xa0

After living in Italy for 3 years and spending time in the kitchen with her new mother in law, her passion for Italian Casalinga cuisine grew stronger. Jenna worked for small businesses, corporations and also tried few of her own small entrepreneurial ideas. She finally realized it was time to take the leap and open Amore Trattoria Italiana in 2010. Her dream was to bring back the mom & pop feel by using locally sourced products and meeting her guests in the dining room much like dinner at home.

Jenna and Maurizio are proud of their award-winning business and their 9 years of serving the West Michigan community.

Please show Chef Jenna & our amazing Local Restaurants some love by supporting them now more than ever!\\xa0
