Receive Text UpdatesI love a dish we call Penrod chicken (from a restaurant I worked at eons ago) that involves marinated chicken, Canadian bacon, Swiss cheese and pineapple rings.
Who is your culinary inspiration?I love watching Justin Wilson way back when. He was so funny, and looked like he enjoyed himself in the kitchen. He always measured salt in his hand.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would buy a really good set of knives, and an Italian espresso machine. And invite all my friends over for a party to end all parties!
