Best meal I ever ate:

Most memorable recent meals were the juniper-marinated loin of Utah lamb at Cafe Diablo in Torrey, Utah and the duck and foie gras ravioli at Scarpetta in NYC

My current drink of choice:

Currently favorite table red is Seghesio Sonoma Zin; white is Frei Brothers Reserve Sauvignon Blanc; for weekends, Roederer Estate (Cali sparkler) and - for an occasional nightcap - Aberlour 15 Yr Old Scotch or a pony of B and B.

I really wish I could:

live on both coasts at the same time

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Braised duck legs with orange zest and almonds

My favorite comfort food:

Mac and cheese

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Ouest (NYC), Print (NYC), Marseille (NYC), The Red Iguana (Salt Lake CIty, UT), the Diablo Cafe (Torrey, UT)

My most tattered cookbooks:

"Eat Right, Eat Well The Italian Way" by Ed Giobbi
