>> your father was macedonian? >> mother was former yugoslavia. >> and left yugoslavia at what age? >> 14. people make fun of me when i say i've never driven a car. i never had a coca-cola until i was like 17. it just wasn't in a small little village where there's two cars. the first food memory i have is also from there. and it was my father. and the day before we'd been into the mountain picking chestnuts. and i remember it so vividly as a little child and i woke up and i saw my father. he was roasting chestnuts. and then i start hearing all these things popping. 20 minutes later, they were in a bowl, and my aunt, she poured milk that she'd just taken from the cow and we had that for breakfast. it was so natural that we went to the mountains for chestnuts, you grew your food yourself. these sort of experiences growing up, they really shaped the type of cook i am today. our eyes they have a 200-degree range of sight.
