Chefs who create their menus based on fresh, local ingredients impress me as much as chefs who will allow me, the Hygiene Hunter, to take a tour of their kitchen without advanced notice. All hail Chef de Cuisine Nick Mastrascusa at the Beach Tree Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. I love your diverse menu. I love your clean kitchen. Note to Nick. Even your uncooked pasta was delicious. I ate some when you were not looking.Hit.
Three verifiable things about me. One. I am an only child. The concept of sharing, therefore, is foreign to me. Two. I am a Virgo. The sign regarded as a perfectionist. Three. My mother raised me to be meticulously clean; compulsively tidy. According to my mother, "You have taken this clean thing way too far." I disagree. Apologies to my mother.
Nature or nurture? Who knows? Who cares? I have not been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Nor would I label myself a Cleanaholic. Or a Germaphobe. My world though, is definitely a unique place. One where doors open magically. Hotel mattresses are pristine. And estheticians never double dip.
I live in this world without a bubble or a honeycomb mask. About 15 years ago I got tired of catching the flu du jour and became ever more so hygienically vigilant -- perhaps obsessively so.
I love Nick's yummy fish tacos!
