"After graduating high school in 1986, Mina gave college a try. But the truth is he already had a dream of cooking at the Space Needle. He’d just seen Jeremiah Tower on TV, and the San Francisco chef made cooking look sexy. Mina knew he wanted that life...It was in New York that Mina would open the Tribeca Grill with Gerry Hayden and Claudia Fleming, setting the wheels in motion for helping to open Aqua at 23 years old in San Francisco." - Paolo Bicchieri
