What food is worth fighting for?
"I grew up eating Lebanese because my dad and his family are Lebanese. I could eat it every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My Lebanese grandma was the best cook in the entire world."

You crave excitement and thrills on the job and in your personal life. So, what's the most adventurous dining experience of your life?
"I guess it would be up on top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. I love to camp and you have to hike about eighteen miles to get to Half Dome, which is a 9000 foot cliff of pure granite. We were cooking red beans and rice right at the top. People are not allowed to sleep on Half Dome because lightning strikes it, but I did anyway."

Your dad is famous for his Top 40 countdown. What's on your "Top 3 Foods" list?
"I have to go back to Lebanese food. Tabouli, Fatayer, and lentil soup. The best Lebanese restaurant in LA is called Carnival. My dad and I go there every week."

Fatayer Appetizers
Bread dough (homemade or ready mixed)
2 lbs. finely chopped spinach
2 chopped onions
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbs. sumac lemon spice
salt

Knead dough until it is smooth. Roll dough very thin and cut into 3 inch triangles. Set aside. Wash, dry, and chop the spinach. Chop onions. In a medium sized pan, add two tablespoons of olive oil. Saute the spinach, onions, and pine nuts. Add lemon spice. Salt to taste. When the onions are done to light golden, remove the pan from the heat. Place a tablespoon of filling on each triangle. Place another triangle on top and pinch edges closed. Dip each finished triangle in olive oil. Place in baking dish and bake at 350 for 30 minutes until brown. Serves 4-6.
