What’s the secret to reinventing a neighborhood favorite? Start with pasta for breakfast! Chef Eric LeVine is a Food Network *Chopped* champion, an entrepreneur, speaker and author, and a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. He tells Dina where his love of food began and what it took to win on *Chopped*, plus the lessons from that kitchen that stayed with him. Now he’s back at Paragon in Clark, New Jersey, leading a full rebrand and relaunch as Paragon American + Italian Gastropub. Chef Eric explains what goes into a complete makeover of a 12-year-old restaurant, why pasta for breakfast could be the next big thing, and which other menu items he’s excited about. He also shares where to find Paragon, how to keep up with his latest creations, and what’s planned for the holidays.
