Chuck reports that he hasn't missed a day of meals in close to six decades, and therefore considers himself somewhat of an expert on food. This can be debated, but what can not be dismissed is his never-ending desire to learn about all things food and food adjacent. He has written for The Newborn News as well as for FoodReference.com. One of his outside hobbies is collecting cookbooks for the past 40 years. Some would consider his collection of books, pamphlets, magazines, and advertisements “excessive,” but he just calls it “research material.”
