My favorite Saveur issue: I love the Naples issue—it was fun to work on since I'm such a pizza fanatic.
A dish that reminds me of home: I'm from Maryland, so anything with crab! I love cream of crab soup, crab dip, crab cakes, you name it.
Where I'm planning my next trip: Hopefully somewhere in Northern Africa, particularly Morocco. I love the food, and the landscape is so beautiful.
