Palios began his culinary adventure at the age of seven working side by side with his Sicilian Grandmother learning traditional Italian recipes and techniques. At age fourteen he got his first job working in a restaurant. In 2002 he enrolled at Johnson & Wales University where he earned both an associates and bachelors degree in culinary arts as well as a masters degree in education.

He has also worked with celebrity chefs including Emeril Lagasse and Todd English. Christopher is currently the executive chef and owner of Sophia’s Tuscan Grille in Warwick, Rhode Island.
