Duff Goldman is a renaissance man. He's a pastry chef and a cake artist, with a flair for music, family, food and filming for various Food Network shows ( Ace of Cakes, Cake Masters, Spring Baking Championship and so on). A man with so much talent must have some strong opinions about what he likes to eat, right? The answer is of course. Ahead, Duff dishes on his favorite foods.

"It’s either a Boston cream doughnut or tempura-fried green tea ice cream."

"My favorite pie in the world is my apple pie."

"Peanut butter and chocolate ice cream with the big, fat chunks of really hard, solid, cold peanut butter."

"My favorite pastry is this little cookie I got in Hong Kong that was stuffed with pork and gravy. Nothing is better than a cookie stuffed with pork and gravy, right? It was super good." Speaking of Hong Kong, Duff’s best food experience was eating dim sum at a local restaurant in Hong Kong. "You literally had to fight to get your food, literally push people out of the way to get to the dim sum, and that was encouraged," he recalls. "And I did all right, because I'm a lot bigger than Chinese people. It was just such culture shock."

"My favorite family recipe is my great-grandmother’s strudel. It’s pretty ridiculous."

"My favorite deep-fried, savory dish is samosas."

"I think my favorite pasta dish is really good, really rich, really meaty Bolognese."

"You can’t just ask your favorite sandwich, because it depends on your mood. Some days I really want a good chicken parm on toasted bread, like a cheap one from a takeout. Sometimes you want a Philly cheesesteak. If I had to pick just one sandwich...my mom used to make me these little cold butter and radish sandwiches on crusty bread with salt. That was a good sandwich."
