Dean and Rina met through massage school in 2021. One day, he saw her eating a juicy cheeseburger loaded with sauerkraut and thought it was impressive that someone her size was tackling a burger that large. Rina offered him a bite, which he politely declined, and they both went off to their separate classes. A few months later, an old friend gave Dean Rina’s number while he was working at Blu Wolf. Their first date was on Shelter Island at Maria’s, and they’ve been inseparable everyday since.
