Pecan pie, pickles, grill-club challenges, lasagna, jambalaya, crawfish bread, pasta all'amatriciana, any of grandma's recipes, beignets, green bean casserole, pizza!
Beautiful apple strudel in sixth grade devoured by my best friend's dog, Jack, as it cooled on the counter.
I went to school in New Orleans, where I fell in love with po'boys, jambalaya, crawfish bread and beignets. I've tagged along on tours of Memphis barbecue joints and Kentucky bourbon distilleries. I collect old mixology and cookbooks and, of course, I love to eat.
