Best meal I ever ate:

Chez Panisse (downstairs) where I had the most amazing cherry tomato salad and the most perfect plum tart.

My current drink of choice:

Lemon drop, Aziza's smoked sea salt, toasted almonds, tequila cocktail, any of the cocktails at Adesso's on Piedmont, especially the one with fresh ginger.

I really wish I could:

Quit my boring corporate job and attend culinary school for fun.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Zuni chicken with roasted garlic cream cheese mashed potatoes

My favorite comfort food:

Mom's home-made steamed beef and vegetable mandoo, Kimchee dol sot bibimbap, Acme pain epi with fresh Strauss butter and triple cream cheese, Luka's grits

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Pizzeria Picco, Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen, Pizzaiola's clam pizza and any kind of frito misto, Houston's veggie burger and ribs, Maverick's cajun benedict

My most tattered cookbooks:

I don't own any. I only recently started cooking at home (newlywed) and tend to cook from on-line recipes.
