I grew up in Westchester County, NY, and have called New York City home since 2019. My love affair with food started long before that, back when I was a kid glued to the TV watching Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern. There was something about the way they traveled; fearless, curious, always more interested in a conversation over a meal at someone’s house or a crumbling hole in the wall than a Michelin star that really stuck with me. They didn't just show you a dish; they showed you a culture, a history, a person's story, all wrapped up in a single meal.

Funny enough, my own family vacations growing up rarely left U.S. soil so international travel always felt like a pipe dream. Over the past decade, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to more than 24 countries and I’ve eaten my way through every single one of them. From street carts to home kitchens to hole-in-the-wall spots no guidebook mentions, I've learned that food is still the fastest way to understand a place and its people.

This blog is where I share those stories, meals and destinations; the ones that stopped me in my tracks, the dishes I'm still thinking about years later, and the recipes I've brought home to my own kitchen in NYC. Whether you're planning your next trip or just want to eat something new tonight, I hope you find a little inspiration here.
