I was a big Jersey meat-and-potatoes kind of guy before I got here.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I could be anywhere in the country, and people will ask, 'Are you from Jersey?' I'm proud of that. We're a weird breed.
I was a food junkie.
I'm a big fan of meat.
I was weaned on chicken-fried steak and hominy grits with goopy gravy all over. I loved meat and wore fur.
Primarily I'm a meat man, although once in a while I toy with a few vegetables.
When I grew up in Pittsburgh in my parents' restaurant, I was almost like a country bumpkin.
Being from Staten Island and Brooklyn, I'm used to eating pasta and meatballs every single day.
I'm a regular dude from Kansas who grew up with pigs and cows.
I grew up a vegetarian. Then, because I grew up in the states, I started slowly eating meat. First it was bologna sandwiches, or pepperoni on pizza.
It's so funny because my mom is Thai and my dad is this big American guy - and our food tastes were so similar growing up. He was meat and potatoes, I was meat and potatoes.
