Q. Fantasy class location?
A. My idea of a field trip and teaching a class for Chef Angels would be in the name itself because Angels fly. So it would have to be the Torrey Pines Gliderport.

Q. Why there?
A.They’ve got a great pizza oven and they’re building these iconic, nutritional sandwiches. [Also,] It’s just an area that most inner city children aren’t going to be able to go and see adults who are apparently in their “right mind” go and run off a cliff with a glider connected to them. 

Q. Why join Chef Angels?
A. It was Lena. She came in and she hit me with this idea. I was like, “yeah, sounds good” cause I was super busy and didn’t really think about it. And then she called me up and I said “what are we doing?”. [Chef Angels was putting on one of its first classes]. I went “Yes! That’s right!” Pretty much it.

Q. Favorite class?
A. Fish Tacos.

Q. Youth reaction?
A. They loved it! We did it in a different twist, we showed them how to chop it all up, sauté it all up in a pan, throw the pico de gallo in with it, mix it all together, put it in a taco shell and then build your taco from there. It was super simple, easy and every kid loves tacos and everybody loves fish tacos.
