I Grew Up In A Family Where

My Parents Immigrated From Italy And Spent 40 Days And 40 Stinking Nights On A Boat So We Didn't Have To Eat Things Like Gizzards.

I Did Skit Comedy Online For Many Years, Beginning Around 2001. Around 2006 I Started Watching A Lot Of Food Television And Got Re-interested In Food. I Come From A Very Food-obsessed Family. But I Also Wanted To Do My Own Thing, Which Was The Comedy.

First And Foremost, You've Got To Make Yourself Happy. Essentially Being Who You Are Is The Most Important Thing. When You're After Truth, Happiness Always Comes.

I Eat Mostly Vegetarian. I Love Meat, But I Think It Should Be Enjoyed On Occasion - Like Cheesecake Or Blackouts.

I Always Have A Good Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil. A Cheap Quality Oil Will End Up Cheapening Your Dishes. And I Love Sweetening My Dishes With Maple Syrup. It Has A Bit Of A Bitter Kick At The End That Works Wonderfully In Savory Dishes.
