| Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, my first USA destination was a town up in Michigan which greeted its visitors with a road sign that says (yes, I am certain the sign is still there) "End of Earth 2 miles, Houghton 10 miles". Forget the remoteness, years later when I talk to people (non-Michigan denizens), they are more concerned about the Fargo-land accent I picked up, doncha knoh? This bit of my life is instrumental. Zip past 8 years - graduation, Silicon Valley Nerd days - and in California, I found an appreciation for food like none before. Thanks in part, I am quite certain, to the culinary retardation The-End-Earth-and-Beyond subjected me to. Sorry Michigan. California - where apple options are not limited to red or green, where iceberg lettuce is only found in a Big Mac, where -thank God - Ponderosa is nothing more than a cheap steak chain.
I traded my workstation for pans and a fish spatula, traded suburbs for SF, even had a brief stint in Belize. Currently I am permanently stationed in San Bruno and among other things, manage a kitchen at Mollie Stone's.
