What’s your #1 comfort food?
My Mom's chili. It's delicious and I can never get enough of it.
If you were on a deserted island, what one food would you want to have with you?
Cheesecake Factory's Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake. It combines two loves; red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting.
What is/are your signature dishes? (What dishes are you ‘known’ for?)
Kidney beans and rice with shredded taco cheese sprinkled on top until it becomes a gooey mess.
It’s Friday night, you don’t know what to cook. You opt for…
Getting food at Panera or Quizno's. Anything fast that I don't have to bother with.
What’s your biggest weakness when it comes to food?
I have a lot of weaknesses when it comes to food. I absolutely love pies and ice cream and cakes. Anything and everything with chocolate. Sushi is a big weakness, but something I haven't indulged in in quite awhile. Sandwiches...I LOVE sandwiches.
What food can you absolutely not eat?
Brussels sprouts, but that's more a personal dislike. I literally can't drink soy milk or I get physically sick.
What’s the most decadent dish you’ve had?
I don't really go for "decadent" food, but probably the quail I had at a Vietnamese restaurant last year, along with the pork pot. My word was it good.
What’s your favorite type of food?
Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Mexican, American. In that order.
Favorite dish?
Depends on where I am and who's making it.
Favorite place is Mandarin House. And my favorite dishes include; General Tso's Chicken, Honey Sesame Beef, Chef's Spicy Crispy Shrimp or Beef, Pork Lo Mein or Fried Rice
If your partner could take you to any restaurant you wanted, which one would it be?
There's too many options, but right now, I'd really like to go back to Victoria Gastro Pub. I haven't been there in a long time, and want to get a shepherd's pie and a trifle.
Are you a soup or salad person?
It really depends on my mood and what is being offered. Caesar salad? I could eat them until I burst. Clam chowder, chicken noodle soup or chili? Holy God I wouldn't know where to start. Unless it's my Mom's chili. Then I will have that.
Buffet, take-out or sit-down restaurant?
Again, depends on my mood and where I'm at. Never eat at a sushi buffet, but I really love Pizza Hut's buffet area and anything from Old Country Buffet. Mama Mia's in my hometown has excellent take-out subs. If we're talking about Mandarin House, it doesn't matter because it's excellent anyway. Narita Sushi, I always sit down in, to get the full benefit of sushi. It's about the ambiance as much as the quality of the food.
What’s the most impressive dinner you’ve ever made?
I made steak and veggies by myself, and the steak was mind-blowingly delicious.
Do you consider yourself a good cook?
I do. I won't be cooking any elaborate courses or be nabbing a Michelin star anytime soon, but I've never heard any complaints about my food.
Do you know what vichyssoise is?
Some weird green French soup? I think I had some in New York and it was not pleasant.
Who’s your favorite TV cook?
Anthony Bourdain {does he count? We'll just say he does}
Can you name at least three TV cooking personalities?
Anthony Bourdain, Emeril and Rachel Ray {¬_¬}
Homemade or homemade from a box?
Homemade every time.
Name 3 or more other foodies you are going to tag
