Top 5!

One of the worst questions someone can ask a chef is "What's your favorite food?"!
It's not that we don't like answering this question, it's that there is no good answer for it. All it takes is a glance at my falstaffian physique to know that there's not much I don't enjoy! All foods hold a reverent place in my heart. Food is my passion, my hobby, my life. Heck, it's what I do for a living! Therefore, this question is incredibly difficult for me to answer!

I'm going to take a stab at it in the best way I can. I would like for you to respond with your favorite foods in the comments section.

My favorite foods include:

Port wine braised Osso Bucco with Saffron Rissoto

Macaroni and Cheese

Gnocchi with goat cheese and roasted tomatoes

Pizza (any kind)

A huge variety of pasta dishes

Soup...mmm, I love me some soup

Why do I even try? The list goes on and on forever. It's pointless to make this list because it changes every day! What I would consider my favorite food changes with my mood. When I'm happy, I like crunchy, salty foods. When I'm sad I like creamy, soft, rich flavored foods. Eating is a viceral experience and most of us don't even think about that.

I challenge you to leave me a comment with your favorite food. Pick just one and tell me it is your ALL TIME FAVORITE!

Have fun and remember to check back next week!
