A Bit About Miranda
Miranda's professional journey began in the restaurant industry in 2001, starting with the creation of cinnamon rolls for Claudia's Cinnamon Rolls before steadily advancing through the culinary ranks. This progression led to a position at The Cheese Shop, a fast-paced brunch venue in downtown San Diego, where she started as a prep cook and swiftly advanced to a Grill Cook. Demonstrating continuous skill development, she later joined Style Restaurant Group, serving as a chef and Back of the House Manager for two of their establishments, Entoeca Style and Salad Style. They then held the position of Chef DE Cuisine at The Blind Burro. Following this extensive restaurant career, Miranda successfully pivoted her focus nearly 10 years ago to meal planning and catering for Lucky Bolt, an experience that significantly deepened her commitment to nutrition and ultimately fueled her aspiration to become a registered nutritionist.
