I've been touted for my guacamole. I'll stand by my method. People have asked me to come to their home and prepare it. Restaurants have asked me about it.

Ever since I was a little kid and first heard Jimmy Reed's 'Honey, Don't Let Me Go,' the blues has been in my blood.

People come up to me all the time and say, 'I just found out about you!' Part of me is happy, and part of me is, like, Where the hell have you been?'

The professionals are from all of the restaurants in town and the home chefs are anyone else who wanted to enter. Sometime the home chefs' category is the most exciting.

The Information Highway intrigues me because I have always been a newshound; I have always been curious about why people believe what they believe.

Stand-up will always come first. I've been doing it for 22 years, and nothing compares to that connection you have with the audience. It's euphoric.
