[Backstory]

• Born into a big family, Lorenzo was taught the importance of family; he has a strong sense of loyalty and a deep value for family (blood is thicker than water). Growing up Italian, he had frequent gatherings involving his extended family. There was typical drama that families have, but in the end, everyone knew they still had each other's backs. He was taught to respect his elders, especially his nonna (grandmother) and nonno (grandfather).
• He was closest to his nonna and would often help her out with cooking, eager to learn and please. He would frequently visit the restaurant his grandparents owned—his family would frequently socialize there. He always loved helping her taste and sample the food as a child.
• As a teen, he began helping out in the restaurant. He learned how to cook from her and after graduating high school, he decided this was what he enjoyed doing the most instead of going to college. He was the head chef once his grandmother decided to take a more passive role; this was after the family exasperatedly begged her to. Despite what they say, she still comes in from time to time to help with prep or to check up on things.
