Email questions to Pan at: pan@cookwithpan.com

How tall are you exactly?
I am 5' 7.5". Which is pretty tall in some places.

Why don't you use a pan in every episode?
There is a very complicated answer that only a few of the master chefs would understand. But the short answer is, why don't you eat cereal with a fork?

Were you ever in a band?
Funny you should ask. No. Although my skills with the guitar are mind boggling and my voice seductively soothing, the Pan has never used his musical prowess at the professional level.

What is your favorite food?
My favorite food item in the world is the "Pastie". No they aren't those little tassle things strippers wear over their bits...these are pronounced "Passtee". My great grandpa used to eat these in the mines and my grandma's recipe is the whip! What are they? "Made originally as a meal for the miners of Cornwall, England, Pasties date back about 800 years. Wives would bake meat and vegetables in a crust and wrap it in many layers of linens or newspapers for their husband's lunch. It provided a warm and filling meal in the cold, damp mines. Pasties arrived in Michigan over 150 years ago with immigrants who came to work in the iron and copper mines in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The Pastie provided a hot and nutritious meal that had good holding capacity and could be eaten anywhere (www.mackinawpastie.com)."
