I remember when I really started getting into it, I was tired of going out to eat and paying too much money for mediocre food. My goal is always to push myself to make better food than I can buy. My family loves it too, of course
What's your all time favorite dish to make?I don’t know if I have a single dish that I love to make per se. I’ll admit that Italian American cuisine is at the forefront in my home as I’m of Sicilian heritage and my wife is Calabrian American. It’s not uncommon for us to have pasta 2 or 3 times a week
What would you do with the $25,000?My dream is to take my wife on a vacation to Italy. We don’t have many indulgences in our life. This would be a way for me to thank her for always being at my side.
