What is your favorite recipe creation?

Sometimes the most inpromtu thing that I create from ingredients I find.

When did you enter the Culinary Profession?

While in High School, I started out as a busboy, dishwasher and then a cook.

Who is your favorite Musical Artist?

Like the 60's and Big Band music...Glen Miller, Benny Goodman

What is your favorite TV show?

Boston Legal

If you could have dinner with any three people who would it be and why?

I would want to sit with former President Bill Clinton because he enjoys food and conversation. The late Lucianno Pavoratti because I enjoy his singing and he makes a great bowl of pasta. Finally, the last person would be Alice Waters to talk food and find out about her inspirations to get her where she is today.

What is your favorite Culinary Web site?

What a wonderful acheivement!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!! I am looking forward to the January Meeting and its topic on certification. I believe you are still holding my ACF Jacket. I want to move up to the next step, so I want to get ready for my practical and written examine. Will these be part of the certifcation process. I have also been working 31/2 years in the industry professionally, does this move me up to the CC level?

Quick Question on the Regional... Is it easier to fly into MIdway, or O'Hare since Regional is in Schumburg. I'm Flying Continemtal from Austin, and looked at O'hare. Need some advice... I'd appreciate if you can help me out, or does it really matter which airport?

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving...

Peace,
TC
