One thing you don't know about me is that I'd rather eat a bacon cheeseburger than a taco.
-
If I could trade places with one chef it would be Anthony Bourdain. He gets to eat and travel the world.
-
One of my most memorable meals was at Alinea in Chicago.
-
If there was no bacon, I'd have no reason to live.
-
My go-to drink is mescal.
-
If I were on death row my last meal would be a bacon-cheeseburger and fries from Corner Bistro in N.Y.C.
-
My worst culinary creation was a goose dish that I created while on the Food Network's Chopped.
-
If I could change one thing about me it would be to stop procrastinate so much. Thankfully, I'm used to working under pressure.
-
My favorite junk food is airport food like Chinese and McDonald's. I travel a lot between the different Mercadito locations.
-
If I wasn't a restaurant operator, I'd love to be a world explorer
