I Won't Eat It

Ham.

It centers around a childhood incident involving rinsable fluoride, a ham sandwich, and the partially-digested combination of the two splattering all over a tile floor.

Uncommon food allergies that nobody believes?

I have a reaction whenever I eat ham. I break out in hives and (rarely) vomit afterward. I can't even eat soup that's been prepared with ham and later removed. I guess it's a good thing I never really liked ham anyway.

What's the weirdest thing in your fridge?

I'm also guilty of the nail polish in the fridge. It's just a habit I picked up from my grandmother. Of course, she only kept the Chanel polish in the fridge. The rest was left out to remain room temperature.

From A Hamburger Today

In Videos: 12-Mile Walk for Free Cheeseburger

I would walk 12 miles for Thomas Keller's lamb tenderloin.

No, I'd walk farther.

AND I'm a vegetarian.

Celebrity Chef Cookware?

I have a couple Wolfgang Puck saucepans and I really enjoy cooking with them. They are a little bit on the heavy side, but they hold up very well. Plus, I purchased them at Marshalls for a great discount!

Have you ever lied to get out of eating something?

One time I came home from the dentist when I was in second grade and I threw up my ham sandwich. To this day I tell people I'm allergic to ham. And the dentist has NO FLUORIDE written in big, red letters on my file because that's what actually caused me to be sick. However, I can't even catch a whiff of ham without my gag reflex kicking in.

Cold Cereal Confessions

Wish Cereal: PLAIN Cheerios
Real Life: PLAIN Cheerios

When I lived in a public dorm, the cafeteria provided an assortment of breakfast cereals in large bins. There was a clearly marked HONEY NUT Cheerio bin and a completely separate PLAIN Cheerio bin. However, they often poured whichever type of Cheerio they had into whichever bin looked low. Nothing ruined my day more than anticipating PLAIN Cheerios and receiving HONEY NUT. The raw frustration I often felt still exists today.

Need a fancy vegetarian friendly date spot in Austin

I really enjoy Taverna in the Warehouse District. I am also vegetarian, but eat fish occasionally and have never had a problem there.

_________ gives me heartburn

Margherita pizza with fresh roma tomatoes. But when I eat caprese, I have no problems. I also have severe acid reflux disease at age 21, so pretty much everything hits me at some point.

Grits/Polenta

I believe that on Top Chef one of the contestants made cheesy grits and topped them with bacon-wrapped shrimp. To the best of my knowledge, Tre made that dish. Hope it helps!
