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! I am Shannon Overmiller the Executive Chef at the Majestic in Old Town, Alexandria. Today we just demonstrated how to form the meatloaf into loaves, uniform loaves for baking. Next I will show you how to make the tomato glaze that you want to coat the tomato with. Basically at home you just use ketchup and that's fine, of course. We just like to spruce it up a little bit and we add some other ingredients into it. So now I will show you how make the meatloaf glaze and then we will go into coating the meatloaf.

These are the ingredients that you will be using, approximately two tablespoon of white vinegar, half a cup of molasses or dark corn syrup, two tablespoon of brown sugar, and two tablespoons of whole grain mustard. Two cups of ketchup, a cup and-a-half of tomato paste. So to make the glaze simply what you do is, take your ingredients put them into a mixing bowl and that's all there is to it. Your mustard, your brown sugar, your vinegar. It helps break down your sugar as well so you don't get lumps of it into the glaze and your molasses or dark corn syrup whichever you choose.

So now you just take this mixture and you mix it up. Incorporate all the ingredients together. Folding it in until your liquids are absorbed and then you can be more vigorous but you see that they are all dirty. That's who you fold the mixture and the spatula just rotate it. That's called folding. You want to add a little salt and pepper to this as well and taste for seasoning as we did before. Not too much salt, still add a good amount. A good amount of pepper. And that's basically it. Simple. There is little -- this is from ketchup. I am going to taste. It's good. So now I will show you after we mix the ingredients together. Next I will show you how to cook to meatloaf and then bake it.
