I am a hardcore foodie and Chef at heart. I simply love to cook!!! I like to try any type of food at least once. I am probably one of the few people who keeps a can of scorpions handy for a quick snack,
or really large water beetles in my freezer to be cooked in a ginger sauce and eaten. As Robin Leach always said, "Life is filled with champagne wishes and caviar dreams". Well, I guess I like to live that life and I do. I keep my truffles near my butter, This is the world's most expensive white Alba truffle $112,000.
Since I enjoy my truffles as much as I do, I buy them from one of my Myspace friends! His name is, "Truffle Supply" and he is in my top friends! His truffles are top quality and mostly from Italy! Below are some of his Buy it Now auctions and regular auctions. Check it out, just make sure to tell him that The God of Food and Wine sent you!
I keep my caviar thoroughly chilled,
my Foie Gras in nice big pieces,
and the Dom Perignon in the wine cellar.
A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine.Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste (1825)
With my interest in food, libations in drink form interest me as well. I collect wine and stock my wine cellar. I also collect whisky,
tequila, vodka, cognac, brandy, Dom Perignon, and bottles of Absinthe. Of course I am so spoiled, I only collect THE BEST STUFF. Sometimes I will not rest until I find and acquire that very special bottle. Same goes for cigars as well.
I love to travel, and simply do not get to do it enough. I love to garden, you would tend to find me in the vegetable garden, herb garden, or among my grapevines. Along with all the best things in life to enjoy, the most precious of all is my wife and kids. I wouldn't trade either of them for the world. I love my wife dearly, and would never think of being apart from her, ever. We share a very strong bond, a bond that scares us sometimes. We finish each others thoughts, even think the same things even from distances apart. She is my whole world and so are my kids. My kids are wonderful. I have a son that is a teenager, and a seven year old daughter. I share every moment with them, and thank God every day for them.
I like everything and anything! Music defines our soul and shapes us into who we are!!
You are BLACK METAL. You're evil and everybody around you knows it. You listen to the most evil and sacraligious music there is. You hate God, Christ, and anybody that believes in it. You usually don't have to be violent since you perspire a sense of being a psychopathic serial murdering cannibal. This makes you happy.
"I am the new way to go"
"I am the way of the future"
"I am the new way to go"
"I am the way of the future"
"There's a lot innocent people being crucified"
You things things things of the flesh do it slow
down avenues fuck me lust my eyes
licking lips encouraging Mr. careworn
to gaze upon a screen bask on after the flesh
we'll infect your carnal mind after the flesh
I walked through forests with ugly spirits
kissed their feet and found them calm calm calm
still I don't have any money money money
my body suffers after the flesh
"I am the way of the future"
"They blew his brains out at gunpoint"
"I am the new way to go"
"I am the way of the future"
"Get in and fasten your seatbelt,
We'll infect your carnal mind, mind, mind, mind
We'll infect your carnal mind, mind, mind, mind
We'll infect your carnal mind, mind, mind, mind
We'll infect your carnal mind, mind, mind, mind
After the Flesh
I walked through forests with ugly spirits
Kissed their feet, and found them calm, calm, calm
Still I don't have any money, money, money
My body suffers after the flesh
"I am the new way to go"
"I am the way of the future"
Movies
Television
Food TV Network is practically all I watch in excess. I record nearly everything to my DVR so I am not tied down to my t.v. There is more to life than wasting it in front of the tube. Here are some of the programs I like that I record that I watch at my leisure: Iron Chef America, Bizarre Foods, No Reservations, Culinary competitions, Days of our Lives (how many guys would admit to this one!), Vegas, Medium, E.R., CSI NY/Vegas/Miami, HGTV, DIY Network, and the Discovery channel. As you can see, I watch a bit of everything from the practical, to the senselessly romantic soap operas, the entertaining prime time shows, comedy, cartoons, and finally educational shows.
Books
Anne Rice, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and John Grisham for horror. I have an extensive cookbook and cooking magazine collection. I just purchased Kim Haasarud's Book entitled "101 Margaritas"! Great book! It is a must have for anyone who is a connoisseur!
Brian Haner is an accomplished singer, songwriter, comedian and guitarist. Currently he is touring with Jeff Dunham. He is also the father of Synyster Gates who is the lead guitarist for Avenged Sevenfold! Gotta give credit where credit is due, without our parent's love and support, we wouldn't be who we are today! Kudos to Brian Sr.!!
Heroes
Henri de Toulouse Lautrec, Vincent Van Gogh, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Marie Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, Alfred Jarry, Charles Cros, Pablo Picasso,
Richard Paterson (Master Blender for Whyte & Mackay, I have met him), Emeril Lagasse (met him), Paul Prudhomme (met him), Masaharu Morimoto (met him), Iron Chef Chen Kenichi, Bobby Flay (met him), Alton Brown (met him), David Lawrence (he sent me a signed photo), Gordon Ramsey (he sent me a signed book), Nick Paine (have letter and signed photograph of him), ..
Mario Batali, Cat Cora, Wolfgang Puck, Anthony Bourdain, and my grandfather, God rest his soul!

In 2006, I had supplied oversized champagne glasses to the South Beach Wine and Food Festival!! Please visit their site!
You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning. It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire...
Who I'd like to meet: I would like to meet other Culinarians, Chefs, Personal Chefs, Restauranteurs, Winemakers, Brewers, Distillers, Master Distillers, and people in general who love to cook, enjoy food, and those who enjoy distilled, brewed, fermented, or macerated drinks. For me, food, drink, and sex are lifes greatest pleasures!! Nothing else matters! We all need to sustain and maintain our bodies with energy and exercise!! Well, I am definitely carnal, Hedonistic, and I believe in fulfilling lifes senses in the most extreme ways, sparing all expense. So, if you are interested in taking a journey of the senses with me, you are the person I want to meet!
