It's no secret: I am a Mexican food snob. Growing up in Southern California, some of the best Mexican food I ate was in the kitchens of my close friends. And if we were to go out, our Mexican restaurants were solid. When people ask me what I miss most about not living in California [...]
I am a hardcore carnivore. There is no other way to describe me. When people talk to me about vegetarians, I respond with, "I don't trust them."
