Well seasoned (sugar & spice, salt n peppa), well traveled (the world and beyond) and well read (luv non fiction). Fan of Iron Chefs (Batali, Morimoto, Flay, et al). I luv to prepare and enjoy good food w/ great company. The French part (de La Salle) of me luvs continental quisine and fine wine (Chateu Lafitte Rothschild does nicely as does 2 Buck Chuck...it's the company and environment that make the Magic). The Other Side of me, luvs Americana and just about all ethnic foods. You supply the food and I'll gladly supply the entertainment (anywhere in the world!), and I'll even help w/the dishes after it's over. Soooo, Let's get Cookin! Ciao, or is that, Chow! Gary
