She is a food and wine educator and Emmy-winning producer. She leverages her background as a trained chef and sommelier to entertain and empower people to take life in big bites. She built her career teaching celebrity chefs to cook on camera, including over 20 seasons of Food Network's The Kitchen. Now Dana is the force behind the culinary creative agency Dine With Dana and can be found teaching food and wine classes at Sommelier Society of America, Astor Wine Center and restaurants across the country.
