This is pretty sad. I eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday. Call it the “Rain Man diet.”

Dinner: Spinach salad, grilled pork tenderloin (marinated in soy sauce, Sriracha, sesame oil, and garlic), brown rice, string beans, and rainbow sherbet

What do you never eat?

Canned tuna fish makes the baby Jesus cry

Complete this sentence: In my refrigerator, you can always find:

leftovers, scallions, Sriracha, and Budweiser (I grew up in St. Louis, sue me)

What is your favorite kitchen item?

My Henckels 10” chef’s knife

Where do you eat out most frequently?

Tacos Nuevo Mexico on 5th Ave. in Park Slope. When they bring my check, I say “barriga llena, corazon contento,” which means “full stomach happy heart” in Spanish. The waitresses think I’m crazy. Also Damascus Gate in Bay Ridge. I don’t know any Syrian phrases yet, but I’m working on it.

World ends tomorrow. What would you like for your last meal?

If the world is ending, I’m not cooking. Strap me in at Sripraphai and bring me one of everything.
