What was the inspiration behind this fantastic dish, and how did you incorporate Jägermeister in the dish?

In September, it starts cooling down, and I start grilling outside. This recipe is like summer meets fall. You still have the summer flavors of the corn from the salad and the grilled bbq chicken. You also have the dark earthy flavors of fall from the chicken glaze and the mole. I wanted to do something still back yard bbq but also incorporate the flavors you see in Arizona, like Mexican street corn and mole.  

The sarsaparilla and the Jägermeister combined to make a fabulous glaze with almost a bbq-like sweetness. It goes great with a rich, warm potato salad. The mole works excellent with  Jägermeister Cold Brew because some moles call for coffee in the recipe, adding a little extra flavor. 

What do you love the most about the city? 

I love my city because I love the people in it. I love the community of industry people are so supportive of each other and want only success. You get a lot of transplants here, so it makes for this giant melting pot of culture and food.
