Mac Voisin founded M&M Meat Shops in 1980.
Q: What is your fondest memory from your family kitchen?
A: We had nine children in the family. It was like a boy scout camp at dinner. We always had dinner together.
Q: What kitchen aromas bring back fond memories?
A: Mom used to do a delicious breaded sole on Fridays. It smelled so good and was so tasty.
Q: What is your favourite food to cook?
A: When we (my business partner is my brother-in-law) started M&M Meat Shops we didn’t know much about cooking. … Since then I have developed a talent for barbecuing, or that’s what I’ve been told. I love to barbecue our flavoured marinated sirloin steaks.
Q: What kitchen gadget can’t you live without?
A: A meat thermometer. Generally with chicken and steak, rare is 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Well done is 170.
Q: What traditions from your background involving food do you partake in?
A: We have a tradition on Christmas Eve where all the family gets together at our parents’ house. … We each bring something. All night we nibble on hors d’oeuvres and wait for Santa. We have a great time!
