If You're Humble And Hardworking,

I Am Burger Obsessed And I Love Playing With The Idea Of What A Burger Can Be For People. I Make Burgers Out Of Everything From Grains To Seafood To, Of Course, Browned Meats Of Every Kind. What I Love About The Burger Is It Makes Food Accessible And Fun For Everyone.

I Was Always A Person On My Mother's Hip In The Kitchen. My Mom Really Wanted Her Kids At Her Side As Much As Possible, And She Worked In Restaurants For Over Fifty Years. And My Grandfather Had Ten Children, And He Grew And Prepared Most Of The Food. My Grandmother, On My Mother's Side, Was The Family Seamstress And The Baker. So My Mom, The Eldest Child, Was Always In The Kitchen With My Grandpa And I Was Always In The Production And Restaurant Kitchens And Our Own Kitchen With My Mom. And It's Just Something That Has Always Spoken To Me.

I Do Know What My First Meal In The Next World Would Be Spaghetti Aglio E Olio, Heavy On Everything.
