So, in honor of the new season, we got to talk a little bit more about my love affair with Tequila.
What is your relationship to tequila? I have a love/love relationship with tequila. I love it and thankfully it loves me by erasing my memory of most things I do once I drink it. When I behave badly on tequila, I put myself on a TTO (Tequila Time Out). Luckily, I’m not on one now. What are your favorite tequilas and have you dabbled in mezcal? Have you ever eaten the worm? Big fan of Casa Noble, Partida, and for everyday drinking, Don Julio. If I could splurge, my sites are set on uber-expensive Casa Dragones, a stunner tipping the scales at close to $300 a bottle. Oh yes, I have more than dabbled in mezcal (which, like tequila is made from agave, but in the Oaxaca region of Mexico). Mezcal is like the Marlboro Man of spirits — smoky, sexy and rugged. By the way, I have eaten a worm, just not the one found in cheap mezcal. I prefer my bugs fried with a crispy coating that I can wash down with a good shot. Do you have a favorite Mexican restaurant in the Bay Area? What is your favorite dish? My top pick is Copita and my favorite dish is tequila.
Check out the rest of the interview and hear about what my guests may or may not be doing on set in our first episode of Season 11!
