Author: Lanie Fioretti

My name is Lanie Fioretti and although I am not a classically trained chef or a degreed nutritionist, I have been studying food and nutrition voraciously since the early seventies. After working in public health and private practice for 22 years, I retired my dental hygiene license. I have taught cooking classes at Whole Foods and Central Market, done product development for a bakery in east Texas, catered, and been a personal chef. I usually think of myself as an improvisational cook!

I was just thinking about going out to dinner in Waco this week, and thought you might like to know about the Salty Dog.  It’s not often I have a burger anymore, my reasons are many and all boring.  So when I have a burger I want it to be outstanding.  Salty Dog hands down…
