Say you’re hosting a Super Bowl party. What dish do you serve to guests? I would serve dueling sausages that would represent each team.

What do you love most about what you do? Creating food memories for people.
What are your goals for the coming year? To open another small, funky restaurant.
What food bank are you representing? St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance
And a few fun faves…
Favorite Super Bowl memory: One of the greatest Super Bowl moments I ever had is in 2008 when the Cardinals were competing against Pittsburgh Steelers in Tampa. When Larry Fitzgerald caught that pass running into the end zone, every Arizona fan was on their feet screaming, I was screaming too. I said, ”Run, Forest, run!”
Favorite sports-watching snack: Hot dogs with mustard and onion
Favorite cocktail to whip up for Super Bowl guests: Sangria – It’s great tasting and everyone likes it!
