Best Day Ever: Chef BJ Lieberman

• He also recently opened Metsi's, a new Italian concept.

For the latest entry in our Best Day Ever series, here's his perfect day:

🎶 Music to start your day: In the morning, I like something peppy — maybe Vampire Weekend or '80s synthpop.

• When I'm preparing at the restaurant, it's always Drive-By Truckers or Jason Isbell.

🍳 Breakfast: I'm torn between two favorites: Lox and Fox in the Snow.

• I'll either get a sesame bagel with egg and cheese from Lox, or Fox in the Snow's classic breakfast sandwich.

🏌️‍♂️ Morning activity: If I have free time, I'm either spending it with my 4-year-old son or golfing.

• I love to wake up early and finish a round before 10am.

🌯 Lunch: Easy — Joya's. The wrap snack is my favorite food item in Columbus.

🏞️ Afternoon activity: I love to pop my ear buds in and have a little walk around Schiller Park.

🍽️ Dinner: One of Speck, Agni or Comune.

• My favorite dish is Speck's pomodoro. It's the reason the Metsi's menu doesn't have a pomodoro dish. It's perfect.

📺 Evening activity: Probably binging a bit of a TV show — right now, "The Last of Us" or "The Righteous Gemstones."

• My wife and I getting to spend time sitting near each other is pretty rare these days, so I take every chance I get.
