I love cooking, but because my mom is too much of a bimbo and my dad too much of a “manly man” to ever step into the kitchen, I never had the chance to learn from them. I grew up on delivery, takeout, eating out, and the incredible food made by the amazing woman who cooks for our family. I became deeply interested in cooking at the start of my teenage years and taught myself through the internet, books, that same woman, and other relatives.
Alton threw a drum of gasoline on my interest in cooking as a child. He’s probably the biggest reason I went to culinary school and spent 15 years in kitchens.
Id love to see OOPs “manly man” dad try to survive a week in a kitchen.
