What’d you eat for dinner last night? Shrimp ceviche from La Grade Orange–it is mind-warping tasty.
Favorite food: Cottage cheese. Up until a few years ago, the stuff completely freaked me out. Then, all of a sudden, it became a staple in my fridge.
Least favorite food: A reuben sandwich. There is something about the compounding of rye, thousand island, and sourkraut that alarms me greatly.
Favorite dessert: All?
Favorite local restaurant and meal to order there: It may strike you as silly because I work there, but La Grande
Orange is one of my favorite local chow lines. Try the Padre pizza:
cheese blend, ricotta cheese, mission figs, and proscuitto di san
danielle–it’s off-menu and a little strange, but I guarantee you’ll
find it delicious.
Favorite local bar and cocktail to order there: Casey Moore’s! I see (employees) Steve, Mike, Dave, and Jimmy more often than I
see my own family. You can find me trying not to sweat my face off
drinking a Jameson neat and a Black Velvet (cider and Guinness, not to
be confused with the choke-inducing Canadian whiskey).
Favorite thing to cook at home: Assorted bell peppers–I marinate them in olive oil, lemon juice,
lemon pepper and a little bit of garlic salt then throw em’ on the
grill. Healthy and refreshing.
Favorite memory involving food: My Ma making me my standard birthday dinner: teriyaki flank steak,
asparagus, and double cheesy mashed potatoes. I’m not entirely sure
what she does to the latter, but it is safe to say that I end up
licking the Pyrex clean.
Recipe or food tip to share: Try adding sour cream to your scrambled eggs to make them extra
fluffy. For more excellent cooking tips, watch all six seasons of The
Sopranos.
