My mom used to make — and still makes — spaghetti with bacon and eggs. That would be my perfect meal.

What is your go-to comfort food when no one is around?
Peanut brittle. Lots of candy.
What is the recipe you create?
I like to take a jalapeño, take all the seeds out, put it in a Cuisinart with nothing but very finely diced peppers, and use that as a garnish. I put it on top of meat or pasta and I remove a lot of the heat from the seeds and it’s just the peppers. I know it’s not innovative stuff, but people will say, “Oh, what did you add?” and my response is, “Nothing.” It doesn’t have a lot of salt. It’s not that strong of a flavor, but yeah, it’s just chilli.
What food did you dislike eating as a child?
Well, I still can’t just eat raw tomatoes. I have friends who eat them like apples. I like to add them to other things like burgers with oil and vinegar and so on. I would eat them all day long, but I couldn’t just eat them raw.
