Last Meal on Earth: The Schmitter (“the ultimate cheese steak” and "the planet's greatest sandwich" only available at McNally's)
Biggest Kitchen Disaster: I had overcooked something in the broiler at home, it was ruined and I left it in there. The next day I forgot it was in there and turned on the broiler again to make something else. It caused a home fire but luckily we were able to extinguish it.
