On one of my visits to Great Falls to see Christi and family, Greg was cooking sweet potatoes outside on a smoker, which I hadn’t really heard of before. He gave me a slice of smoked sweet potato and I never knew something could taste so delicious! It was soft and crispy, sweet and salty and smoky all at the same time. I remember distinctly thinking about what other foods I was missing out on by always eating the same ol’ thing all the time. I promised myself that day that I would always seek out and try new foods and that has been a grand adventure as I have traveled the world. I have eaten everything from scorpions to torched tuna belly to lamb brains and a lot of dishes that I didn’t even know what I was eating. It has been one of my greatest passions and I attribute it to that moment when I ate the smoked sweet potato prepared by Greg. Thank you for making a huge impact in my life! Love, Amelia
