See Todd Wilbur At Cleveland's Great Big Home + Garden Show!

Do you have a favorite restaurant meal? How would you like to be able to make that same meal at home? Todd Wilbur, a self-proclaimed "food hacker" can help you do just that. Armed with only an acute sense of taste and smell he spends hours and days dissecting and reverse-engineering famous foods in order to bring the best possible clone recipes to the masses.

Todd will be sharing some of his favorite recipes at The Great Big Home + Garden Show, presented by Carrier, on Thursday, February 12 and Friday, February 13. But before you see him at the show, get to know him a little better in our interview below.

Marketplace Events (MPE): If you weren't a cooking expert, what would you be?

• Todd Wilbur (Todd): "Underpaid TV News Reporter. Because that's what I was before this."

MPE: Have you had a "favorite moment" on your show? Tell us about it and what makes it so special.

• Todd: "When an old friend of Colonel Sanders whispered to me one secret ingredient in the chicken recipe. He thought it was a private moment but our cameras caught it all. This was on the pilot and it helped me land the series."

MPE: What inspires you?

• Todd: "Creative people with years and years of success, doing what they love."

MPE: What's one thing we wouldn't guess about you?

• Todd: "I won $65,000 in cash and prizes on a TV game show called Break The Bank. Lived off that for a year."

MPE: What's your go-to dish to serve at a dinner party?

• Todd: "Most likely any clone that I was hacking earlier that day."
