Least favorite food: I haven’t quite exactly acquired a taste for Persian food.
Favorite dessert: A warm slice of apple pie served with some vanilla bean ice cream–yum!
Favorite local restaurant and meal to order there: Pita Jungle. No matter what mood or occasion, I always start off with an ice cold lemonade, followed up with a little bell pepper hummus, then, depending on my appetite, I finish the meal off with a pita pizza!
Favorite local bar and cocktail to order there: Mill Cue Club in Tempe, and nothing beats their Long Island’s. They taste great and get straight to the point. Ha.
Favorite thing to cook at home: Grilled chicken served with capers, with a side of fresh seasoned vegetables.
Favorite memory involving food: The first day I discovered a fifty-fifty orange cream popsicle. I remember being fascinated as a child that someone could make a popsicle that tasted exactly like the soda. They are still, to do this day, one of my favorite after-meal indulgences.
Recipe or food tip to share: I got this recipe from a friend, who found it online. It’s absolutely delicious.
