Who is this "Dad" guy?
Dad Got This is the epic saga of James, affectionately known as "Dad" - the Jedi Master of grilling and smoking foods. He wields spatulas and tongs instead of lightsabers, bringing balance to the Force, one dish at a time.
Now, let's take a trip to a galaxy far, far away to understand Dad's culinary journey. Imagine a young Padawan growing up with an Italian grandmother, whom he lovingly refers to as "Nana." She didn't just cook; she wielded the wooden spoon like a Sith Lord's weapon. Although she didn't use it for cooking, it was Dad's weakness when he misbehaved.
When Nana wasn't chasing him around with the spoon or using the Force to hurl soup cans (hopefully empty ones), she was passing on her culinary wisdom. He was the only young Jedi whose after-school snack was chicken Parmesan.
Nana's mantra was clear: "Don't rely on others to cook for you." So, she set out to train him in the ways of the culinary Force. His mother continued the training, and he even inherited the sacred "Holocron" of recipes.
Dad became the chosen chef for his family, a role he takes as seriously as defending the galaxy. His daughter, the "food tester," is his trusty sidekick, tasting every creation with a discerning palate.
In addition to his Italian heritage, Dad married into a Filipino family, allowing him to immerse himself in their culture and cuisine. It was like discovering a new planet with delectable food as its treasure.
With many years of culinary mastery, Dad is the Jedi Grand Master of the kitchen, ready to whip up a feast for family gatherings and events at the drop of a Wookiee's bowcaster.
Dad's kitchen arsenal is more impressive than the Millennium Falcon. He's a gadget enthusiast, and if there's a cooking contraption in the galaxy, you can bet he either owns it, craves it, or has mastered it.
James, aka "Dad," has plans as grand as the Death Star. But for now, enjoy his out-of-this-world recipes, share them like the secrets of the Force, and drop comments across the galaxy.
Thanks for joining him on his gastronomic adventures. Feel free to ask questions or simply savor the culinary tales. And if you're ever in Orlando, watch for Dad, because he's practically the Jedi Council member of Disney and the Jedi Knight of Fun in the city
Go cook something!
