We started tracking up-and-comers back in 2017.

"It was one of my favorite evenings. I can't remember what it was, but I know she's not eaten it since."</p><p>At home, David handles most of the cooking. He told Rogers that being in the kitchen "relaxes" him and attributed his passion for food and wine to his upbringing, explaining that both his mother and grandmother cooked for their families every evening. </p><p>"I love to cook for my parents. I love to cook for my friends," he said, later adding, "I was in the kitchen the other day, cooking for the kids and Victoria was like, 'Can I help?
