Palombo thrives on the surprises that each day brings him.  “When it’s hectic, I think I must be crazy to love this; but when it’s quiet, I hate it.  Life is at its best when you are driving in an Italian traffic circle; all your senses are heightened.  Every day should have that sense of excitement, at least a little bit of it.”

Palombo lives in Marlton, New Jersey.  He eats, sleeps, and breathes Italian food except for an occasional, but total indulgence in sushi at Megu Sushi, Tony Bennett, and Classical Rock & Roll.
