Who or what is your sidekick? My best friend, Kevin. He once jokingly remarked, “It’s difficult to know where I end and she begins,” but there’s actually a lot of truth to that statement. We speak our own language, which is basically made up of obscure ’80s R&B lyrics and Samuel L. Jackson quotes, spoken in a British accent while dancing.
What career would you choose in an alternate reality? A forensic psychologist. I have a strange fascination with serial killers.
What was the last local restaurant you patronized? The Rieger Hotel Grill & Exchange, which also happens to be my favorite local restaurant. It’s the whole package: great atmosphere, incredible staff, delicious cocktails, and the best damn pork-cheek pie you will ever eat.
