Q: How did you first learn to cook and what’s your cooking background?

Q: What can you tell us about the dish you’re making and what inspired it?

Ty: I LOVE Mexican food and I’m a non meat eater so this favorite dish always makes me happy. When I make this dish, I think of my last trip to Mexico City DF and how amazing spending NYE there was.

Q: Where did you grow up and what kind of food did you grow up with?

Ty: I grew up on Chicago’s northside in Lakeview. I was exposed to all sorts of food at a young age. Chinese, Thai and Italian primarily.

Q: What’s your favorite food memory?

Ty: Cooking in the kitchen with my Aunts for Thanksgiving.

Q: Anything else we should know about you and your cooking?

Ty: I cook with my heart. Every single meal. Color makes a difference to me and taste of course is the best!
