Q&A | Marcus

A brief Q&A session with Marcus :] I couldn't get another photo out of him, so please refer to my hello-my-name-is post here for one of my (very) few photos with him. Enjoy!

NAME
Marcus

CURRENT CITY
New York, NY

FAVORITE ALL-TIME RESTAURANT
Too hard to pick just one.
In Oregon: Mongolian Barbeque
In Philadelphia: Buddakan, Jones, Chili's, Jim's Steaks
In New York: Shake Shack, Kenka, Ippudo

MOST REGULARLY FREQUENTED SPOT(S)
Dunhill Cafe, Argo Tea, Shake Shack, Best Of New York, Au Mandarin

DRINK OF CHOICE
sweetened iced tea

SOMETHING YOU SECRETLY INDULGE
McDonald's fries/nuggets -- they're so bad for your health, but I could eat them ad infinitum (until someone decides to come by and steal me away from my meaty euphoria, that is).

DISH YOU MOST ENJOY PREPARING
A more accurate rephrasing: "Dish you are most capable of preparing." In this case, the said dish would likely involve some combination of eggs, chicken, or rice. Possibly broccoli if I am feeling particularly ambitious.

THE HOMEMADE DISH YOU ALWAYS LONG FOR
waffles with chunky peanut-butter and maple syrup

GASTRONOMIC GETAWAY/ADVENTURE OF CHOICE
I actually really like what New York has to offer. But if I had to venture outside of it, I'd probably check out Paris or Japan.

CULINARY ICONS
Stephen Starr

MEAL YOU WISH YOU CAN REPEAT BUT SOMEHOW CANNOT
Hahahahahahahaha--

ABSOLUTE "CAN'T-STANDS"
tomato sauce in pizza, overbearing onions, poorly-prepared green beans, soy milk that brings upon the wrath and fury of a thousand stomach aches

FAVORITE DESSERT OF ALL TIME
Paradise Pie from Chili's

FAVORITE COOKBOOK/COFFEE TABLE BOOK
Not sure that I have one in particular.

CULINARY WORDS THAT NEVER LOSE THEIR PANACHE
Mise en place, zest, itadakimasu, the famous Iron Chef battle announcement "Allez cuisine!", and certain four-lettered words repeated percussively in rapid succession.

FOOD BLOG(S) YOU JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF
Four Tines and a Napkin, of course.
