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 the Executive Chef at the Majestic in Old Town, Alexandria. Today we are making home style meatloaf. While we baked the meatloaf which previously showed you how to mix and bake the meatloaf. We will make the side dishes while the meatloaf is baking. Right now we are going to go into making the whipped potatoes for the meatloaf. What you need for the whipped potatoes is going to be 6 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled. I like to use Yukon Gold potatoes as it's much better potato than say for -- for whipping it's a better potato. The starch level is more accurate for whipping rather than an Idaho Potato which will be better for making French fries something of that nature. It's much better to use a waxier potato like this or Red Bliss is as good as well. So we got our peeled Yukon Gold potatoes. You want to cut these into uniform sizes, in uniform chunks. You want to put the potatoes once cut into a large pot and just to cover the potatoes. Don't over submerge them, don't drown them in water as you want to always use whenever cooking potatoes or starches, cold water. Just to cover. To this you want to add salt. You want the water to taste like salt water. It's going to have a very good amount of salt in it and the way to do that is just to taste it. So this is cold water and I am now going to season salt generously. You really want it to taste like the sea. Bring this up to a boil. It takes about 15-20 minutes, usually once it is up to boil and then you bring it back down to simmer. It takes up 15-20 minutes and then you want to test it with a fork. That will give you -- once it yields to the fork and it breaks apart gently but overcooked and I will show that's when you know your potatoes are ready. And while we are doing this, since now this is how you start to whip potatoes. Now a good thing to do while your whip potatoes or cooking is to start your meatloaf gravy as well.
