About Me

According to some of my friends, I can grill some bomb-ass chicken. If you get to know me, I'll invite you to one of my barbecues, and you can decide for yourself if it lives up to it's reputation. By the way, I go all out when it comes to cooking for family and friends. Aside from grilled chicken, other items on my menu include Grilled Baby Back Ribs, Grilled Oysters (or raw, depending on your degree of bravery), Breaded Pork Chops, Spam Musubi (Yes I said Spam!!!), Baked Salmon Fillet, topped with a thick French Onion sauce, and of course... Rice. After dinner, I can mix a Cosmopolitan for you (with fresh lime juice), a Margarita (yes, I can make it without the Margarita mix) or a Vodka Tonic, or a Rum & Coke, or a Kahlua Hummer, or you can try my ever popular Mango Martini and Blue Drink. If you want to know more about me, browse the other sections of my profile or just send me a message...
