Inspired by his mother and a TV sitcom character, Chef Tony Onzures decided to improve wholesome homemade fare in Anza, one private lesson at a time.His cooking students learn to make popular dishes – from appetizers, desserts and entrees – all from scratch. His gentle and positive guidance is the talk of social media.“Believe it or not, my mom was my first inspiration to cooking, but actor John Ritter’s character – Jack Tripper from TV show ‘Three’s Company’ – sealed the deal,” Onzures said. “It all started when mom would let me lick the spoon, and the rest fell into place with Jack Tripper’s antics. I have my Associate of Arts in culinary arts from the International Culinary School at the Arts Institute of Austin, Texas.”[caption id="attachment_15607
