Top Ten by Edward Evans
The Maryland Live Casino chef shares his favorite things.
By Lauren Bell | January 2018
Marvel Comics Gear: I am a huge Marvel fanatic. I was a collector of the comic books as a kid, and as an adult, I’ve become a fan of their fashionable apparel.
Partagas cigars: The first cigar I’ve ever had in my life, and I totally smoked it the wrong way—never inhale!
Whiskey: I love all whiskey. What’s a great cigar without a great whiskey? They go hand-in-hand.
Converse Jack Purcells: These are the shoes I grew up with as a kid in West Baltimore, simply because they were affordable. I still wear them to this day.
Larousse Gastronomique: The world’s greatest culinary encyclopedia. My late cousin, Chef Patrick Clark, gave me this book as a graduation present.
Oreo Cookies: I won an Oreo-eating contest when I was 8 years old, and they have been my favorite ever since.
Truffle Oil: I put that sh*t on everything.
Socks: Anyone that knows me knows that my sock game is on 100 at all times. My socks are a true reflection of my mood on a day-to-day basis.
Old Bay: Being from Baltimore, this will always be in my kitchen. Period.
Meat Cleaver. This is an essential part of my knife kit. It has traveled with me to France, Ireland, Belgium, and all over the United States.
