I’ve been pretty lucky as a food blogger. Since launching My Burning Kitchen in 2005 as a place online to document my journeys and thoughts, one of the best things was meeting Anthony Bourdain. It resonates even more now that he's gone. I won’t go on about how he changed the way we talked about... Continue Reading →
Part of my daily 45+ minute walk with Doctor is listening to a podcast. It’s something that makes the time go faster while being entertained and/or educated. Podcasts in my rotation include Radiolab, NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour, The Splendid Table, The Sporkful, Nerd for a Living, Forever 35, BJ Shea’s Geek Nation and just recently... Continue Reading →
If you’ve been following me on my Instagram account, you’ll know that I recently visited Scandinavia. But it wasn’t too long ago that I took food photos with an actual legit film camera. Young’uns not familiar with film photos won’t know what it’s like dropping off a roll of film to be processed, waiting for... Continue Reading →
Media tours are a funny thing. I’ve been on a few over the years like San Felipe, Montreal, Hawaii and Montana, it has never been a vacation for me.

So in 2015, I made an effort to visit her on... Continue Reading →
San Diego Comic-Con 2016 is finally over and quite honestly, we're not sad to see it go. If you were one of hundreds of people who stopped by the table to say 'hi' and buy a book or shirt, you likely got a story about Paul's current medical condition. He has a kidney stone but it's...

By now I would have posted my top choices of where to eat downtown during this year's comic-con. But you know what? I've been hella busy over at Zagat. More importantly, Paul and I pumped out a new comic book that we finished TWO WEEKS ago and we just received the order today. How's that... Continue Reading →
Here's a revelation for you folks reading this: I pay for my own food. In my last three plus years of doing the professional food writing gig, I've spoken to a few dozen people who do the same thing as I do and discovered that whatever they eat out for work, it comes out of... Continue Reading →
