What special dinner will your mother or your wife make on your birthday?

Oh, my wife won't cook. I will be cooking. I do all the cooking at home.

When I was growing up, rice and flank steak was one of my favorite meals. And my mom would marinate it with honey, soy sauce, green onion, salt and pepper and ginger and let it marinate overnight. Then, we will serve it with rice-a-roni. So now, it will be Mc-A-Ronnie.

My mom used to make spaghetti carbonara with bacon and eggs - and still does. They would be my perfect meal.

What did you order on your first date with your wife Sarah Williams?

We went to a restaurant called Swingside Cafe, which was a pasta-only restaurant. I think she had a puttanesca, and I think I had a bolognese.

What breakfast are you obsessed with?

Boy, I drink a lot of coffee. That's all day, no joke. I think I've had about 12 shots (of espresso) so far.

What would be your last meal on earth?

Probably a bone in the ribeye. Look, everybody orders it medium rare, and it's pretty easy to do, but I'd say medium or medium rare.

What comfort food do you eat when no one is watching?

Peanut brittle. a lot of candy

What is a recipe you made?

I like to take a jalapeño pepper and take out all the seeds, put it in a Cuisinart and nothing else, just very finely chopped peppers, and use that as a garnish. I put it on top of meat or pasta and I remove a lot of the heat from the seeds and it's just chili. I know it's not something that's innovative, but people are like, "Oh, what did you add?" And I'm like, "Nothing." It does not contain much salt. It doesn't smell that much, but, yeah, just chili.

What food did you like as a child?

Well, I still can't really eat just a raw tomato. I have friends who eat them like apples. I love them on anything else, like, burgers with oil and vinegar and all that. I'll eat them all day long, but I just can't keep them raw.
