Best meal I ever ate:

High end: the eight-course "fish and game tasting menu" at River Cafe, Calgary. Low end: too many to consider, but the chicken rice for S$6 at Swee's Chicken Rice in Singapore is one I'll never forget.

My current drink of choice:

A Seattle-style macchiato with a perfect rosetta.

I really wish I could:

drink most red wines without getting an instantaneous migraine.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

I usually let my partner Brian take care of cooking!

My favorite comfort food:

Brian's mac and cheese, White Castle when I'm back home (NW Indiana)

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

In Calgary right now: O Shima, Chef's Table at the Kensington Riverside Inn, Han's, Boxwood, and Green Chili (17th Ave location). I'd sooner eat at Taqueria Yugapeti in Walla Walla or the Döner joint at the corner of Rosenthaler Straße and Torstraße in Berlin than at Fat Duck or El Bulli and I can't stand pretentious jerks who can't see past hype.

My most tattered cookbooks:

Joy of Cooking, Moosewood, The Vegetarian Epicure
