Glenside / Philly

Best meal I ever ate:

My mom was not a chef, nor the best cook I knew...but NOTHING ever seems to taste as good as what I remember her meatballs and spaghetti sauce tasting like (and we're Irish) - out of every special place I have been, I still can't seem to get back there...

My current drink of choice:

COFFEE - always was, always will be. Especially Chestnut Hill Coffee Co. -- or Blue Bottle from San Francisco

I really wish I could:

Go everywhere & eat everything - not gain wieght doing so and afford to pay for it! That and maybe have my own little farm...

My favorite comfort food:

Grilled Cheese - the virtuosity of my wife's repertoire! Tomato Soup, Meatballs, Mashed Potatoes, Scrapple

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Vetri, 11 Maple St., The French Laundry, Marnee Thai S.F., Chinks Steaks

My most tattered cookbooks:

Professional Baking - gisslen, On Cooking - Labensky, On Food and Cooking - Harold McGee, Italian essentials - Marcella Hazan, The French Laundry - Thomas Keller - Savuer magazine -
