Michael Psilakis is a lot of things: an award-winning chef and restauranteur, a father, a television personality, and a Greek-American, to name a few. He’s known for his upscale Greek restaurants in New York and credits his mom for teaching him everything there is to know about the flavors and techniques of classic Greek cooking. (Awww!)

We could watch him cook in his restaurants all day, but what fascinates us the most about him (and all professional chefs, to be honest) is what happens at home. What does he cook on his days off? What does he buy at the supermarket? Luckily, we don’t have to wonder anymore, as he graciously opened his (pantry) doors and let us take a look. He sent us photos and everything!

Here are the five things he always has on hand.

If butter fingers — or actually buttery fingers — cause an egg to slip from your hands, you know you’ll have a mess before the shell even hits the floor. The slime, the sticky shell bits, the slime! Cleanup isn’t going to be, er, over easy. Here’s how to make it less of a scramble.

One of the best things to do when walking down the aisles of a wholesale retailer like Costco or Sam’s Club is to try all the samples. Oh, you want some cheese? Here you go! Oh, you’d like to try that new drink on sale? No problem! This offers consumers a risk-free way of trying new products without having to make a purchase they’ll potentially later regret. For the retailer, it introduces consumers to a new item they can buy, which can possibly increase sales.

Sam’s Club is taking the old concept and giving it a new twist with e-sampling.

New Mexico has become the first American state to take a legal stand on “lunch shaming” students who don’t have money to buy lunch. The tales of lunch shaming are not scarce — students have reportedly been stamped, forced to wear a wristband, had their lunches tossed out, or even told to perform chores in lieu of a meal.

Now, thanks to the Hunger-Free Student’s Bill of Rights, kids can eat lunch without a side of humiliation.

Uncle Sam owes you money? Congrats! People say it’s actually better to owe money in April because otherwise, it’s like you gave the government an interest-free loan, but who cares what those people say. Because you’re about to get some money. Money that you didn’t technically have before! Put that money to use in the place that matters to you the most: the kitchen.

Here are some ideas for how to spend that refund check if you’re getting $500 (give or take) back.
