about me

Divorced father of 2...I love cooking and entertaining, I've been a member here at the Zaar for about 2 years now. In my spare time i love spending time with my kids, cooking, scuba diving, fitness and hunting & fishing.

I've worked in the beer business for many years now. My brother and I also own a small construction company. We're looking at doing some internet business ventures also.

My favorite cookbook is a regional italian cookbook called "Wining & Dining with John Grisanti". Passions other than my hobbies include Oakland Raider football, St. Louis Cardinal baseball and my "Monday Night Supper Club" where about 10-12 of my friends & I gather to eat, drink & be merry.

My deceased grandmother inspired me to cook a few years ago because I felt cooking was going to be a lost art. Hopefully that is changing, with the help of Recipezaar.com and Food Network.

Favorite Foods:

Italian has to be my very favorite with Cajun and just good ole Soul Food/Country Cookin' as my second favorites. Steaks & Seafood would come after that.

My favorite dish to cook would be Grisanti's Baked Manicotti, I'm going to post the recipe the next time I cook it where I can get some pics. I'm famous for that, plus a lasagna dish my buddy shared with me..I can't post that one.

My favorite restaurant would be Charlie Gitto's Pasta House in St. Louis or Frank Grisanti's or Ronnie Grisanti's in Memphis. Ruth's Chris Steakhouses are always good as well. I really wish I knew the restaurant business, I'd open one in a heartbeat.<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k240/54121HankT/015_15.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>
