Mike lives in Iowa and though he's not a chef, he was inspired to learn about cooking at the age of 16 when he worked at an Italian Restaurant. He is a Buddig meat fan and says the smaller packages are a perfect size and very convenient. Over the years, he learned how to make different meals and created his own version of Chicken Cordon Bleu which he says pairs very well with a white wine Pinot Grigio. Mike was a contractor in Iraq for four years installing satellite systems and operating them for different army bases.
