Q&A with Jonathan

Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?

Neil Armstrong or any other human being who has ever been to space and come back in one piece. I have so many questions about what it is like up there... or is it down there?

Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A restaurant owner - when I was a kid I always wanted a single place where I could get all my favourite dishes (from ceviche to zabaione) without having to travel to a different city or country.

Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?

It would be a comedy where none of the jokes are funny, starring Mary Louise Streep - people say she is a good actor.
