About me

I'll try anything once... I think. I love finding new places to dine and sharing them with friends and family, and then trying to replicate recipes at home.

How I learned to cook

Somehow I've wangled my way into writing about food and drink, which allows me to observe masters first-hand. I'm still learning about cooking. Thankfully I live across the street from some excellent establishments for the nights when things don't go according to plan.

Other interests

Kickboxing to work off the calories, and riding my sweet cruiser bike.

Favorite restaurants

There's too many to mention by name, but I love discovering the previously unknown, and finding places that offer value, creativity, ambiance, and the ability to anticipate my needs before I realize I have any.
