Sometimes I wear a chef’s coat

Renegade Kitchen started as an imaginary website. I told friends that it was “down for service” for six months before it had even launched. But guess what? It’s a real live baby now. I grew up in a house full of food allergies and 15 years ago there weren’t many options on the shelves for those of us avoiding gluten or dairy. Solution? Get in the kitchen. I started baking and cooking and tried to crack the code on my favorite recipes. The crunchy-hippie-rainbow-birdseed cookies that were offered as alternatives at the health food stores didn’t satisfy my sweet jaw. I wanted real treats and I wanted to make them. So I did. And that’s what you’ll find here. Renegade Kitchen is a collection of my food adventures, from testing batches upon batches of chocolate chip cookies to visiting funky food events around the country.

Why yes, I will take a candid headshot in the middle of a busy street.

By daylight I’m an actor in NYC. You may have seen me as an utter lout on Law and Order SVU or as a Blue Man in Blue Man Group in New York, Vegas and Berlin. I am a proud graduate of Northwestern University and a hopeless comic book collector.
