Craziest Thing you've cooked:

• One time I decided to process a whole animal (Maui Nui venison into mortadella for an event for 700 people). I had never made mortadella at the time. I couldn't find any information online or a recipe for mortadella based on game animals so I decided it must be a project to tackle...  Hands down one of the most fun events I was a part of and it came out Fckn awesome.

Chef I wish I could eat with:

• Julia Child- her energy for sharing food with people was infectious and I would have been honored to spend an evening enjoying her company while...Drinking wine and listening to all of her stories about the travels she and her husband Paul had.
