Best meal I ever ate:

Lunch at Gordon Ram$ay- Hospital Road; a $3 fresh Salmon dinner cooked in a Chilean boarding house; meals at Mom 'n Pop places in Europe

My current drink of choice:

A cold beer on the porch or boat; or a 55 degree stored and served vintage screw-top wine

I really wish I could:

Retire, eat at 3 restaurants a day, and not gain weight- hey, I can fantasize, too.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Haggis and hakarl, with toasted durian chips

My favorite comfort food:

BBQ, shrimp and grits, jalapeno cheese cornbread, PBJ/toast, thick soups
