“My father passed away a couple of years ago and his nickname for me when I was a kid was Tiger. That’s why I decided that tiger would be the best choice for this one. It is a special one because it is the piece which honors a very important man in my life, my Dad.”
About the olive branches:
“They do have a story too. My dad grew up on an olive farm in northern California so that’s where the olive branches come from, and obviously his last name is my last name.”
Derrick VanDuzer is the Executive Chef at Knickerbocker Bar & Grill in NYC.
