Anyone who watched season 2 of Hell's Kitchen knows that Heather West was the winner. That was in 2006. Heather is now back on Long Island as the Executive Chef for Monterey Restaurant in Long Beach. It was a recent decision to be closer to her family. I interviewed her and then we went into the kitchen where she cooked up their most popular soup of white beans and escarole. Then she prepared some fresh gnocci with a light sauce...wrong! Butter adds such a great taste. Heather has concocted some tasty flavored ice creams, as well. Heather tells me that she buys local produce, meats, etc. The restaurant itself looks pretty good!
