Best meal I ever ate:

Shrimp at the Hale'iwa shrimp truck in Oahu.

My current drink of choice:

Fresh-squeezed lemonade, a super Tuscan red wine or a 2004 zin from Zin Alley in Paso Robles, CA.

I really wish I could:

Open my own restaurant and boutique hotel on the coast. All I lack are the knowledge, talent, drive, perserverance, cash and ability.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

Grilled tri-tip

My favorite comfort food:

Campbell's cream of tomato soup, Spaghetti-Os, sourdough grilled cheese sandwich w/ sweet and dill pickles, Malt-O-Meal w/ brown sugar and butter; fresh, raw Bluepoint oysters and red sauce, chicken and green chile soup, hot chocolate

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

My own kitchen, Trelio in Clovis, CA; Shrimp truck in Hale'iwa, Oahu; Tommy's in SoCal, Pizzeria Uno in Chicago

My most tattered cookbooks:

"Threadgill's Cookbook," CI's "Best Recipe," "1,001 Recipes for People w/ Diabetes," "Four Ingredient Cooking," "Calico Cooks!", "Tom's Big Dinners," "Les Halles" by Tony Bourdain
