Interesting tidbits about Kinzie
What strengths or unique talents do you bring to IN?
Hard work, a good sense of humor, a love to learn, 104 words-per-minute typing skills, appreciation for cheap-yet-quality food, hardcore multi-tasking, and I know more about the movie Forrest Gump than anyone else here.

What one item in the kitchen best describes you and your personality? Why?
The silverware drawer caddy, because you never really notice it or think about it, but really, what would you do without it?

What four living people would you most like to share dinner with?
John Mayer because he's amazing, Conan O'Brien because he is hilarious, John Krasinski from The Office because I would be his Pam, and Takeru "The Tsunami" Kobayashi because I'd just want to witness him eating.

What is your most embarrassing food-related incident?
In 8th grade, I was the kid who accidentally threw away my retainer in the cafeteria. I had to borrow rubber gloves from the lunch ladies and dig through 6 trash cans full of garbage while the cool 9th graders came in for lunch. I found it though and I still wear it to this day!

What kind of food(s) are you IN to?
Fajitas, mock duck lo mein from Village Wok, pasta, chicken wings, chicken or turkey sandwiches with lots of tomato, veggie burgers, pizza.

If you could be an animal for one day, what would you be and why?
A llama! Because I'm obsessed with llamas. They're so cute and soft and they're always smiling. Sure, they spit sometimes, but who doesn't?
