First Post

A blog? Really? Never would have predicted this one. But at least its about my favourite subject-food, wine and all things consumable.

Spending the majority of my time talking about food I figured I may as well start keeping track of it all in an easily defamable forum where the general public can criticize my every thought (who ever said a bit of sadism was a bad thing?) So without further adieu a bit about myself.

I would say I am a mixed product of the Food Network Generation and a Food Loving Family. Do I have a rich culinary history to draw on? Special tales of learning to make orichette by nona's side or tasting my first perfect oyster with Grandpere? Absolutely not. Do I have fond memories of food? Absolutely- they were my first favorite meal (chicken tempura oddly) and my least favorite (some sort of casserole of ground beef my mother was supposed to top with crushed corn flakes but made a less then stellar substitution of corn pops).

After attending University I had aspirations of Law School, political office etc but school loans quickly kaiboshed those lofty dreams and instead I followed what I new and got into the Biz. Currently I am still there- in the wonderful world of Country Club food operations (more hillarious stories and anecdotes to follow).

To sum up what I hope this blog to be? (besides a massive success that will lead to some sort of book deal) It will be a regular rant on what I am eating, cooking, drinking, thinking in the world of food, wine, spirits, service and life. So should anyone read this I hope you will enjoy my take on my favourite topic.
