Chuck Hughes Answers Your Top Questions
He's already competed in Kitchen Stadium, worked hard on his Day Off and spent the week in Mexico. For Chuck Hughes' next challenge, he decided to take on: Your questions.
Chuck stopped by the Cooking Channel Facebook Page earlier today to answer questions from his fans. In case you missed it, here are some of your best questions and his answers:
Chuck Hughes: Try finding a turkey with 8 drumsticks - that's the best part! Haha Brining is awesome though.
CH: I haven't bought olive oil from a store in years. I get it all from my Greek landlord. Yo, What's up, George!
@Alicia wanted to know if Chuck ever makes food for his dog.
CH: My dog is veggie believe or not - apples, carrots and celery sticks are her faves.
@Lisa wanted Chuck to know: Sorry they booted you off Iron Chef. It definitely wasnt your time to leave; Edmontonians were supporting you!
@Ken wondered where Chuck would go on his next Week Off.
CH: I would love to go to Greece, but ultimate favorite would be Japan!
@Lori Anne asked what Chuck's next tattoo would be.
CH: Hi Lori Anne - A can of sardines, and maybe your name, xoxo (wink).
Watch Chuck get his latest tattoo in this exclusive web video from his new series, Chuck's Week Off: Mexico:
@Pat: I'm so glad you got to visit Mexico. It's a beautiful country and the food is amazing! Of course, I'm a bit partial I'm Mexican and very proud of it.
CH: Gracias Pat, Viva Mexico!!! Mi gusta todo en Mexico....la comida, la gente y la pura vida.
CH: I would love to open a place in Portland Maine and the theme would be Lobstah!
@Zaynab wanted to know what languages Chuck spoke.
CH: I speak French and English pretty well, and Spanish I'm still learning. German, not at all.
Get all of Chuck's answers from the chat here. And as a bonus, Chuck pulled five questions he didn't get to from the chat to answer for this post:
CH: Matane Shrimp. They are sweet and local in Quebec and only available for a short period of time but are awesome!

CH: I bonded with everyone, but I've got to give a shout out to Big Beau Mac, and a "What's Up?" to my man Spike.
CH: Check out this Dorado Con Crema recipe, and you don't have to catch your own fish! And check out Chuck's Week Off: Mexico for more recipes.
