Kelly Lusk moved to Chicago after graduate school and couldn’t be happier. When he is not at work you can probably find him in a coffee shop trying to write a play. Or he may be exploring a Chicago neighborhood that’s new to him. Or one that’s old to him but he knows a really great little bar there. Or he may be on his couch cuddling with the love of his life: Mackers, his three year old cat. He is a new cook that is trying to graduate from the days of microwaveable meals and onto mature, more adult-like dinners. He is excited for The Chopping Block to show him toward the light.

I was a very plain child growing up. My tastes were simple and modest. I did not like jelly on my peanut butter sandwiches. I only liked vanilla ice cream. And Cheerios were my go to cereal. I wasn’t ...
