Andrew Zimmern and that's about it. I don't watch much TV anymore.
I do like watching The American Experience on PBS where there's a
subject that interests me.
Music: My taste in music ranges from Iron Maiden to Lady Gaga. I
love music from the 1970s and 1980s. Jazz and bluegrass are good
too. I sometimes listen to folk music when I find it on the
radio.
I can't stand most contemporary soft rock, the kind of stuff you
might find on the Lite FM. The music of John Mayer, Jason Mraz and
the Plain White Ts is my personal hell.
Food: The chipotle chicken sandwich at Panera Bread. The ham
sandwich at Jimmy John's. The barbacoa burrito at Chipotle Mexican
Grill.
