She also served as the lifestyle/cooking correspondent for Conde Nast’s debut web network. When Brooke is not instructing adults on how to slice and sear, she’s teaching her 8-year-old daughter, Parker, proper table manners and her 2 year-old son, August, how to use chopsticks. James and Brooke will soon open their first restaurant inspired by their home on the Gulf Coast and travels through Italy. Angelena’s Ristorante Italiano is set to open in late 2018 in Pensacola, FL.
