Yum-Man – a.k.a. Eric Neil.
The kitchen love goblin grabbed him at an early age, decades ago. Grandma’s comfort food got it all started… simple snacks like peanut butter and honey and ‘nanner (banana) sandwiches, to her full blown holiday feasts. Then sheer boredom of growing up in a small Texas town got him curious about those weird little rectangular spice tins that Mom never seemed to pull out from the recesses of the spice cabinet.
From the first disgusting attempts at individual meatloaves spiced by those little rectangle tin boxes, to almost burning down the kitchen trying to make fried corn chips (a story for later), to mistakenly making candied potato slices instead of fried potato chips, Eric didn’t have the most auspicious beginnings in the kitchen.
But stirred by a deep passion for food, and a forgiving mom and sister, he kept at it. He accumulated experience ranging from an authentic Frenchman-owned fine dining restaurant, to working as a sous-chef under a four-star certified executive chef (with stints at a national seafood chain as well as a small local BBQ dive thrown in).
To Eric, it’s all about how the food stirs the soul and opens a connection to the divine. That could be from a 50 cent plate of rice and pork in a road-side eatery just off the black sand beaches of northern Bali, Indonesia. Or Kobe beef in its hometown, that lovely city crammed between the mountains and the port (Kobe, Japan). There’s no special place for the snobby or trendy… The palate, the connection to the universe, and the sheer pleasure are the things that matter.
