What did you eat today? 

Water,  maple granola with yogurt and a banana and Earl Grey tea, a slice of watermelon, fusilli with a homemade sauce of oil, onion, garlic, shiitake mushrooms and pecorino-romano cheese, a glass of Sicilian white wine, lapsang souchong tea, three olives, an Amy's organic country vegetable pot pie, some French red wine.
 
What do you never eat? 

Pineapple.  Can't even stand the smell of it.  I love most fruits and tropical ones especially.  Mango, papaya, kiwi, passion fruit....yum.  Pineapple, however, makes me want to vomit.  I also don't do oysters.  I admit this with a bit of shame because oyster culture seems sexy and high class to me.  I think it's a texture thing.  Again, I love most seafood and shellfish.  Clams, mussels, crab....yum.  Sushi.....yum.   Oysters taste like nothing and feel like someone else's phlegm in my throat.
 
Complete this sentence:  In my refrigerator, you can always find: 

Yogurt, guava juice, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, swiss chard, parsley.
 
What is your favorite kitchen item?

The Knife.
 
Where do you eat out most frequently?

Sushi Mura, Nono Kitchen, Little Dishes (all in the Slope)

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

An entire suckling pig, butternut squash ravioli with sage, chard sauteed with tons of garlic, a caprese salad with extra basil and olive oil from Sardinia, Concord grapes, the stinkiest  French cheese plate in the world, my mom's blackberry pie (she picks the berries herself),  the most expensive bottle of red wine in the world and limoncello.

Among the many reasons I love Trevor: he taught me to refer to the upright bass as "the doghouse" and the electric as "the pork chop". You can follow Trevor's gigs, learn the secret of the dead bass goon, or read some of his kick ass answers to fan questions at trevordunn.net.
