I am a self-proclaimed “food evangelist.” This translates into a huge love of eating, shopping for, and talking about, FOOD. I grew up working in my family’s restaurants and countless others. After graduating from the Wharton School, I moved to Chicago to work in Brand Management at Quaker Oats. My husband’s job brought us to Seattle, where we’ve never been happier to be so close to fresh seafood, local wine, and artisan cheese.
In my spare time, I enjoy giggling with my baby girl, snowboarding, reading cooking magazines, and watching reality TV. My favorite foods include: foie gras, scrapple (yes, I know these two couldn’t be further from one another), sushi, raw oysters, and shrimp and grits. Americans would be a whole lot healthier if vegetables tasted like bacon. There are few things I won’t eat…and durian is one of them.
