My inspiration to start cooking was my Dad. He’d spend time in the kitchen to unwind from his workday. On weekends, he’d can fruit and vegetables grown in his garden. Growing up on L.I. exposed me to a variety of cooking styles. Moving to GA for 29 years was my Southern BBQ indoctrination. I’ve had the privilege of meeting a few TV food personalities who’ve offered encouragement. Lastly, it’s the happiness my food gives to others.
What's your all time favorite dish to make?While I’ve talked a lot about BBQ, my favorite dish to make is Cioppino. I’ve been making pomodoro since I first started cooking on my own. I visited SF and had cioppino for the first time. I put a recipe together and I think it’s the dish that surprises people the most for its simplicity and flavor.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the money to start a Barbecue sauce company. I’ve been making my own sauce for over 35 years. Every one who tries it tells me I should sell it. The money would enable me to scale my recipes up from my 5 gallon batches.
