Here is my expert interview in its entirety. I've learned a lot from Mr. deRAMUS. But not just over the past few days. I've known him for about a few years and he's taught me about life. I chose him as my expert interview because I know that he is a good person, and someone that I personally look up to. He enjoys life and does what he can to have fun, and be a good father. One summer his son and I were playing on a travel team together. We had a tournament in Baltimore and I could not go because I did not have a place to stay for the weekend (like a hotel room) because my dad wouldn't be able to come down until the Saturday night. So Mr. deRAMUS let me stay with him and Demetrius, his son. That was one of the first times I actually talked to him, and it was clear that he and I had different opinions on certain things, but that did not mean that he wasn't still kind to me, and I was also nice back. He taught me in that weekend that people are different and have different thoughts, people come from different places and have different lives. So if we could understand that everyone has different thoughts we should be open to learning. And that summer he really taught me about opening up to people who probably are different than me. I would probably be a very different person if I had never went to Baltimore with him that summer, and I am grateful that I did.
Full exchange below
1) I worked from high school through College in restaurants just so I did not have to rely on getting money from my parents. And in doing so, I learned to be independent. I continued to peruse the business because I became very good at it and ultimately wanted to open my own restaurant.
2) There are many great things about cooking, but I guess the best part is he the artistic expression from concept to reality.
3) You cannot persuade someone into cooking. It is either in you or it isn't. So I guess I would tell them just that!
4) Cooking has no time boundaries. It is a labor of love. It is by nature long hours, tons of pressure and stress, and once it gets into your blood, time and hours are nonexistent.
5) My favorite Meal to prepare would have a fish, a spicy vegetable, steamed rice, and a very light vinaigrette.
6) Cooking brings us together as a family, it helps us celebrate important land marks of our lives, brings us back to our childhood and evolves into tradition.h
Sorry so late Bobby
I hope this helps you. Good luck in your pursuit of baseball.
Regards.... Demetrius' Dad

> Hey, this is Bobby. For school I'm doing this project where I have to pursue something to learn for 6 weeks and I decided to do cooking. I have to write a blog and document my process. Another criteria is an expert interview, so I would just like to ask you a few questions about working with food:
> 1. Why did you pursue the culinary field?
> 2. What is your favorite part about cooking?
> 3. If you had to persuade someone to became a cook or a chef, what would be the first thing you tell them?
> 4. How is cooking different than the average 9-5 job?
> 5. What is your favorite meal to prepare?
> 6. Why is cooking an important skill for everyone to learn?
