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.
