ISBN: 978-0-316-07173-4 FOR MY FATHER In my mind, you are still here, with me, our daily conversations helping, guiding, and illuminating right from wrong, as they do in the stories that follow. You are my hero. FOR MY MOTHER Know that a lifetime of meals spawned from your love has become the foundation of who I am today as a chef and a person. FOR ANNA & GABRIEL Forgive me for unknowingly asking you to sacrifice to help me realize my dreams. Forgive me for the hours you spent waiting for me to return. Forgive me for allowing food to become my addiction. Forgive me for trying to be the man you both deserve and for not fully appreciating the suffering this has sometimes caused. Forgive me for being me. But know this: without you both I would be nothing. Know that you are truly the center of my world. I love you.
