Lee Skawinski has earned an increasingly influential slot on the nation's culinary map, in no small part due to his "old school" approach to Italian cuisine. GQ sums it up best: "In all of eating, there is no better idea than Lee Skawinski's: Apply the principles of small-town Italy to an American restaurant." Skawinski is far from the prototypical chef; the New England native holds fast to the belief that memorable dining is less about the chef in the kitchen and much more about the fresh, seasonal ingredients - uniquely combined, and in ideal proportions - that diners enjoy on their plates.
