Best meal I ever ate:

The Modern. Disclaimer: I had special treatment this "best meal" night, based on my dining partner's status at the restaurant.

My current drink of choice:

I'm a glutton for trappists

I really wish I could:

have a personal chef

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

read the name. don't do dinner parties

My favorite comfort food:

i can't live without guacamole. but i'm from the south and if my mother knew i wrote guacamole as "my favorite comfort food", i'd be disowned. therefore, final answer: my mother's breakfast casserole (something so gastronomically incredible, i cannot even explain here)

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

too difficult to answer. i would have to break them down in categories (i.e. top go-to place when i want excellent food, a bar stool to enjoy it, and no bullshit: Union Square Cafe. top sushi spot: Cube 63. when i want something cheap that i can split and save for lunch the next day: Chipotle (the one on 8th st is by far the best. they know their portions). favorite place to take my mother: Dallas BBQ. no, not really. she'd erase all memory of my existence. but i have had her meet me there one time as a joke. something i'll never, ever do again in my life.

My most tattered cookbooks:

my mother's
