About

I am a multimedia food and travel journalist who covers restaurants through colorful writing, photographs, videos and Instagram stories. I command a large following of people who respect me for my opinion as a critic, but also enjoy just watching me eat and learn. I've also worked as a fixer for national TV shows like "Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations" and have been featured on Rick Bayless' "The Feed Podcast."
