Best meal I ever ate:

So many great meals, but I'd bet the absolute best wasn't in a restaurant. There's something about having contributed to a great meal with friends that elevates it to something extra special (and you can usually linger as long as you want over after dinner drinks).

My current drink of choice:

I'm all over the place, but I love a strong grappa or Germain Robin brandy with coffee after dinner!

I really wish I could:

... afford not to look at the right side of the menu!

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Don't have one. Always trying something new.

My favorite comfort food:

Gotta be Mac & Cheese. It can be good even when it's bad!

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

I couldn't say. Usually five of the last ten I've been in. For example, I was just in Seattle and I can't see ANYONE not enjoying Serious Pie.

My most tattered cookbooks:

The New California Cook, A New Way to Cook, The Wine Lover's Cookbook, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, Barefoot Contessa: Back to Basics, Born to Grill, and, of course, Back to Basics & How to Cook Everything as basic guides
