First and foremost, food needs to be delicious. It should pop and explode with flavor. Food should please all the senses.

My passion for snacking and search for a great tasting, better-for-you snack sparked my interest in creating what has become popchips.

Being a food show and being me, I always kicked it up a notch, which means I would always elevate the spice level or the complexity of a particular dish. So, it was always like we're going to kick this up a little bit.

I love spicy food.

I'm famous for splurging at fast-food places. I'm currently obsessed with Taco Bell's bean and cheese burritos with extra green sauce and extra cheese. Gluttony!

I have been known to go to the grocery store and just buy pepperoni. There's just something fantastic about salty, fatty meats.

I'm such an avid magazine reader - music, art, beauty magazines - and I found that food and restaurants were pouring into everything I cared about. Whether it was the pop-up concept, or some mysterious mini-mall restaurant, I got swept up in the sexy romance of the food movement.

What's my favourite food? One you order out.

Even just a few spices or ethnic condiments that you can keep in your pantry can turn your mundane dishes into a culinary masterpiece.

Pop has to exist and it's a great thing.
