Brad, 29, Delivery Lead, New York.
Brad is a friend of my sister's, and I know him through various social events. We were also both in her wedding. For fun, Brad tries cocktails at various bars around Rochester, where he lives, so I knew his submission would include a lot of his favorite drinks. I also expected him to give a lot of good recommendations for Rochester, a foodie city that in my opinion, is slept on.
What's your favorite coffee shop? Cafe Sasso, here in Rochester on Park Ave. Lovely atmosphere and the reason I go > for the "Red Eye" Black coffee with a shot of Espresso.
What's your favorite grocery store? Wegmans, bakery quality bread and all I need in one place. Plus, I can't have Gluten, have converted to rice only pasta and am particular about my frozen fruit.
What's your favorite pizza? I must admit, I don't eat pizza much. But I like mushrooms and buffalo chicken with this BBQ sauce and fresh basil...Maybe I do like pizza. OH! And Bee Strings, always a fav. I get mine with an accompanying Bees Knee's Cocktail because I love adding to the theme.
What's your favorite beverage? Alcohol, spritz, soda, kombucha. There are too many options. Favorite Cocktail: The Cosmo, it's the history, the story, and who can deny it looks great. Non alcohol, I am partial to a Seaberry Liquid IV with more ice than water.
Who makes the best fries? Wendy's
What's your favorite takeout? I am a bit ashamed to say I rotate. Living in the city I have so many options. I like Pizza Hut Alfredo Pasta with bread sticks. Or, KFC Famous bowls (yes, thats an S), Mac and cheese and a brownie.
What's your favorite “local” specialty? Garbage Plate - I like Mac Salad, Beans, Hash brown potatoes, Red Hot, Ketchup, Mustard, Relish, Pickles and Soda - Pepsi Zero or Cherry Pepsi.
What's your favorite bakery? I don't know the name, Baker Street maybe. It's on my street, less than a mile. Great bread, I get Oil from next door from another local place and on several occasions, have had that for dinner.
What's your favorite place for produce? We have a great Public Market. I have a few farmers I frequent.
What's your favorite convenience store? 7/11 right down the road is the one that no longer asks for my ID. Does that count?
What's your favorite summertime treat? Aperol Spritz
What's your favorite “healthy” snack? The quotes make me want to admit there are the days I eat whole ice cream cakes... But most days its frozen fruit. Lately, I like blueberries with these chunks of Acai.
What's your favorite comfort food? Turkey Sandwich, mayo, lettuce. Frozen Blueberries for dessert.
What's your favorite restaurant? Roux, local spot. It's a hole in the wall - French with lovely cocktails and a vibe that is ME.
