Q. What dishes did you make?A. In the first round, our star ingredient was cottage cheese, one of only like three things I don’t enjoy eating. I made a cottage cheese arancini with spicy stewed tomatoes.
Q. Were there any curveballs?A. Other than the cottage cheese, not really.
Q. Have you done anything like this before?A. As I’ve mentioned, I have appeared on “Chopped” and won that, so I’m a “Chopped” champion as well as a member of the Beat Bobby Flay club.
Q. Last but not least – any Goodyear House news or updates you want your NoDa neighbors to know? A. We want to thank NoDa for their continued support. The last year and a half have been crazy and we are so lucky and fortunate to be in the position we’re in. We’ll be announcing some fun initiatives soon, including a back-to-school cookout to benefit BuildOn, a charity we’re stoked about, and a partnership with the Johnston Y!
