Standish913.com has been blessed to do an exclusive interview with...
"MEGHAN ELLIS"!
Let's get into some exclusive questions...
STANDISH: What is the first thing you ever remember cooking?
The first thing I ever cooked myself, prior to enrolling in culinary school, was chicken marsala.
STANDISH: Who is someone you looked up to as a child & still do today?
My dad, he basically had to start his life over after he and my mom divorced, he never let anything get in his way. I lost him 5yrs ago to cancer, but I still look up to him for motivation when things seem difficult.
STANDISH: What is something you hate doing in the kitchen?
I don't think I have one, at least not one that comes to mind currently.
STANDISH: What was the most nerve racking part of being on Hell's Kitchen?
Most nerve racking part was not knowing what was gonna happen next. You had to be on all the time and startling things would happen when you least expected it.
STANDISH: How was working with Gordon Ramsay?
Chef is cool, super chill off camera. Comes out of nowhere most times during dinner service and startles you a bit.
STANDISH: Did you expect to land Hell's Kitchen?
No I did not, I took a shot and attempted to manifest my way in, it worked
STANDISH: What is your favorite food for take out? Why?
favorite takeout food is probably a bahn mi sandwich, they travel well.
STANDISH: Tell the readers your reoccurring kitchen nightmare…
My recurring nightmare is whether or not I turned the fryers off at the restaurant.
STANDISH: What is the most underrated cooking ingredient in your opinion?
cauliflower, people don't realize how versatile and exciting it can be to cook with.
STANDISH: What do you listen to while you chef it up?
I'm that psycho person who loves the quiet, I prefer to not have music on.
STANDISH: How many times a week does the walk-in cooler hear your screams?
maybe once every 2 months, it takes a lot to get me there.
STANDISH: If you could change one thing in the world today, what would that be?
All the "ism"s. There's no reason for it, the world would be a much safer, peaceful, and more productive space if there wasn't any type of hate directed at any individual group.
