Location:

Kansas City, Missouri

Best meal I ever ate:

#23 at Sun Song's in Kansas City, Missouri (Westport area). I have a real dislike of asian food, but this particular meal is perfect. The way that the pork and shrimp carmelize in the wok, the rice noodles, the pickled carrot slices (!), I was so surprised at how much I appreciated this meal that it has to be the best I've ever had. In honesty, I've probably had meals that were better, but I expected to like them, so they don't stick out.

My current drink of choice:

Cream Soda (Ginger Ale and Spiced Rum)

I really wish I could:

Afford a really complex smoker.

My favorite comfort food:

Ice cream.

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

The Plaza Three Steakhouse (Kansas City); Wyndotte BBQ (KCK), Sun Songs (KCMO), The Peppercorn Duck Club (KCMO), Mancuso's (KCMO, 39th Street)

My most tattered cookbooks:

The encyclopedia of cooking, given to my wife by her grandfather (a Navy cook in WWII, Korea and Vietnam).
