Do you cook? Unfortunately.

What is your favorite meal to cook? Soup, but no one else likes soup, so I make a lot of spaghetti. I use spinach and squash instead of meat and my boys eat it up.

What food do you absolutely hate? Lamb. I don't really like fennel seeds or rosemary in any food on my plate either.

What is your favorite dessert? Hmmm... either chocolate cake or cheesecake. I'd have to look at both to choose.

What food have you never eaten, but wish you could try? Maybe Ethiopian.

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you order? Favorite as in, I could eat there every day for a long time and not get tired of it? Well, that's how I'll answer the question. It was the Rose Garden (thai) in Vacaville, CA. I'd get a thai iced tea, the fresh spring rolls for my appetizer, and the thai broccoli with shrimp. The next day, I'd have the fried spring rolls with the Tom Ka Gai. After that, the Hot n Sour soup with pineapple fried rice. Next day, coconut chicken soup with the yellow curry tofu. Then, a salad with the lemon chicken... I could go on and on.

You’re on death row, what’s your last meal? I'd head our for tapas, order everything on the menu, and have pitcher or two of Sangria.


Name: Mini T
Current City: Houston, Texas

Do you cook? From time to time, mainly simple dishes. There just isn't enough time after work during the week and too many great restaurants to try during the weekend.

What is your favorite meal to cook? Rib Eye Steak - I love love love meat...and when you make it yourself you get it done just the way you like it.

What food do you absolutely hate? I don't think it's possible for me to hate any food. I just don't like over-priced mediocre food.

What is your favorite dessert? Not a huge dessert person but the first thing that came to mind was a warm white chocolate bread pudding with Mexican vanilla bean ice cream on top.

What food have you never eaten, but wish you could try? I would have to agree with the truffles. It's this elusive ingredient. I've had truffle oil which is not at all the same. But definitely a plate of really good risotto would just be heaven I'm sure.

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you order? Having to pick a favorite restaurant is just mean. My most recent foodgasm experience was Branch Water Tavern. The fois gras was appetizer was amazing.

You’re on death row, what’s your last meal? All things meaty and decadent....fois gras and bacon wrapped scallops for appetizers...a 22oz medium rare bone in rib-eye...and lamb chops on the side...screw the traditional sides or anything green....and a bottle of magnum opus.
