Introduction

This creation, fantasized in my head and brought into existence by Fischer, is intended to be part rambling discussions of life, part documentary of my journey into the culinary world. Each word and thought that I share with you will be my opinion, and mine alone. If you find yourself agreeing with me, then great! Continue reading on. However, if you find yourself disagreeing with my thoughts then I hope that you may choose to not take my words so seriously and instead find entertainment within my stories. It is my hope that I can share my thoughts on everything and anything so that some day, somebody out there will learn something, or perhaps be exposed to a new idea that helps them grow as a person. We all experience life differently and we all have our own paths to tread. I see the world and life through the lens of food. It helps me understand and empathize with every person I meet. To me, food is life, or perhaps the human experience: culture, politics, and community. In the words of the late Anthony Bourdain, “Food is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.” I firmly believe that what we eat and who we share a meal with makes up who we are a person just as much as our genetics and DNA.

And so, without any further introduction, I welcome you on this crazy journey through life with me. Welcome to the rabbit hole of my mind.
