In the Kitchen With . . . Bob Simon, Roswell

Nominated by Katie Simon:
"My dad, besides being an awesome dad and amazing person, is also a fabulous cook. He did not grow up being very adventurous with food or even cooking much, but as he's gotten older he has become quite a gourmet chef. On the weekends, the Food Network is on, and my dad can be found planning amazing meals for Saturday and Sunday night dinners. Anytime I bring a friend to my parents' house for dinner, they walk away amazed. In fact, my roommate just made my dad's black bean salsa for a party. When we called him for the recipe, it turns out that there is none written. It was a narrative saying, 'A handful of cilantro, a little bit of this and that.' "
