Red Apple Guy

about me

Hey folk. I live in the Atlanta area with my wife, daughter and son. Another daughter lives in town with my grandson. I'm an environmental manager at a manufacturing facility.

My mom and dad's love of cooking rubbed off on me, I guess. They would have loved Zaar. Dad was a huge collector of recipes and was in the food industry. I also had a roommate at the Universtiy of Arkansas that was an excellent cook. Today I enjoy barbecuing and grilling year round and cooking in general.

I'm active in a terrific church and also love fly fishing and fly tying.

Favorite Foods:

I've lived in Texas, Arkansas and Louisianna and picked up a taste for traditional chili, smoked brisket and etouffees. I love Tex-Mex as well as classic mexican food.

I suppose I cook best on the back porch with a waft or two of smoke around and I'm partial to barbecue chicken.

My favorite restaurant is one that my entire family of origin worked at one time or another: The Red Apple Inn in Arkansas. It's been a few years, though.
Other favorites include Dante's Down the Hatch in Atlanta and Carmines off Times Square in NY (go early).
