Overmiller began her professional career as a bartender and waitress at Proximo Restaurant Group's Austin Grill in Washington, DC. Realizing she craved more experience in the kitchen, she then made the shift to Cafe Atlantico, also part of Proximo, where she worked as a line cook while attending the esteemed L'Academie de Cuisine in Maryland. In 2002, she graduated and accepted a position at Ristorante Tosca under the direction of Chef/Owner Cesare Lafranconi. At Tosca, she quickly moved her way up from Line Cook to Pastry Chef to Sous Chef. With a desire to broaden her experience after spending three years at Tosca, Lanfranconi made a phone call to Chef/Owner Cathal Armstrong on Overmiller's behalf, which brought her to Restaurant Eve in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. Chef Armstrong�s leadership taught Overmiller about the importance of local vendors and sourcing from local farms, along with honing in on her technical culinary skills. Armstrong added French techniques to Overmiller's Italian preparation, and soon she found a balance between both of her mentors� skills. As a 2004 Jean-Louis Palladin Foundation award recipient, Overmiller had the opportunity of a lifetime to travel to Italy and learn about ingredients and cooking techniques. She has proven herself in many kitchens and now, as the Executive Chef at the latest addition to the Armstrong's projects, which opened in May 2007, Overmiller continues to use the skills she has developed throughout the years.

Shannon Overmiller: Hello! My name is Shannon Overmiller. I am Executive Chef at the Majestic in Old Town, Alexandria. Today we are demonstrating home style meatloaf.

I will be explaining to you the important issues of using different types of meat in your meatloaf not just beef alone. You will get a drier meatloaf if you do this. What I like to use, and I am sure most people do normally is a mixture of beef, pork and veal. We have got beef that we are lucky enough to grind ourselves here at the restaurant, but at home any beef that you buy from the store, ground beef is preferable. Then we also have ground pork shoulder which we blend into. So it's two part of beef to one part of pork. There is also veal. I use veal liver and this as well -- this is just liver that I have ground up. This is young veal liver, calf liver that I ground up to mix in. It's just about a cup worth to the five pound mixture of meats that I have here. The other type of meat that I would like to use is a salami or type of cured pork product. It gives a nice texture and flavor to your meatloaf product. So these four will the four meats that we are going to mix to make the meatloaf. Then I will show you the additional ingredients that we will be using to make the meatloaf complete and flavor the meatloaf before baking.
