What is currently your favorite eatery?

The Mission.

Do you have a favorite dish from any San Diego restaurant?

I love the French toast from The Mission, the tofu taco salad from Pokez and the pesto gnocchi from Zio Mario’s Italian Cuisine. Yum. Now I’m hungry.

What is your favorite lunch spot?

The Mission.

How often do you cook at home?

At least five days a week. I love to cook, and my partner and I have this great deal where I get to cook and she has to clean up after. I lucked out.

Do you prefer to cook with others or do you banish all human life from your kitchen?

All who enter my kitchen beware.

Name three things that are always in your refrigerator/freezer.

Frozen raw dog food, Quorn frozen veggie-meat products and fresh fruit.

Name three people, living or dead, you’d most like to invite to a dinner party.
