WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DISH AND WHY?
Whenever I’m in Ghana, no matter whats going on or how busy my morning is, I need to
have bofrot (lol). I would say that its my personal favorite thing to eat while in Ghana but
overall, its hard to say no to a plate of fried yam with tilapia and shitto, especially if its my
mom making it!
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN BUSINESS IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS?
The goal has always been to own my own restaurant. I don’t know exactly where I would
want it, but I definitely know the feel and food that I want to serve. Owning my own successful restaurant has been my number one goal since I was about 15 so when it does
happen, that would have to be one of the greatest achievements I can personally think of.
I think it’ll be exciting to move into that phase of my career sharing those moments as a
married man as well.
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM WEDDING.
My dream wedding?! (lol) I don’t even know what I’m doing tomorrow, let alone a wedding! (lol). In all seriousness though, I just want my closest family and friends there. I
think an outdoor evening wedding would be cool.
I can imagine my wife wanting to have her say on the decor and logistics of the night with very
little input from me, but one thing I have to be in charge of is the food for the reception. I’ve had
a very similar question asked to me a few times before and semi-jokingly I’ve always responded
that I would spend more time in the kitchen expediting food for the reception more than I’ll be
in the actual reception with my wife. She would probably kill me for that but I think it would be
really cool if our guest had small restaurant experience during that night.
WHAT WILL BE THE PERFECT VALENTINE’S DAY MENU?
(lol) That’s a great question. I think it would really depend on the woman spending that
evening with me. I would have to do some recon work prior to the 14th to know what
some of her favorites are and things that she doesn’t like so much, those are the details that
I think really make a meal and in particular that night really special. Off the bat though, I
know it would have to consist of multiple courses, maybe 4 or 5. Small bites leading into
more complex dishes then of course something sweet to cap the night off. I have cooked
on Valentine’s Day before doing exactly what I mentioned, Needless to say it went really
well because she’s my girlfriend now :)
