#3 - big P: patten. patten is my very good friend who both taught and inspired me to be a better cook. patten and i met working in a hotel restaurant in york maine called the stage neck inn. he was a manager there and i was a server, and during a pre meal one evening he led the staff through some wine tastings and gave us some pointers for upselling glasses of wine. patten has a knack for boiling things down, for making things that aren't supposed to be complicated, that end up getting complicated, less complicated (and i probably couldn't have said that in a more complicated way - but patten's not here to help). at the time, he inspired me to see that i might actually understand wine and as a result i got hooked. we formed a friendship from there and most of the rest of the top 10 things i will go on to write about he had a hand in showing me.
