RUBY CHAN: They looked at me about to pour 400 degrees oil on top of ginger and scallion and said, "We're calling the fire department."
KENNY PALAZZOLO: She gave me my coat hanger and a little ball of dough.
You rolled it around the coat hanger, you pulled it out, and you had one fusilli.
JULIAN PLOVNICK: I was elated to see my own smile mirrored back at me, bouncing off the blades of my very own set of chef's knives.
