There is one thing for sure -- I LOVE food. I love to eat it, cook it, read about it, discuss it.
I love to try new things and will try anything once.
I love grocery stores - go everyday and love going to ones in different cities to see what they carry. I even love reading grocery store flyers.
I love eating out and finding new gems. I have found some real winners recently - i.e Sampan in my home city of Winston-Salem - amazing authentic Asian food and the most amazing Polish restaurant in Norgross Ga while on a business trip.
Nothing is better to me than fresh veggies, fresh herbs, a real butcher shop and fish straight out of the water. I am all about homemade anything -- pickles, relish, jams, bread, lemonade, beer, wine, mead and a dang great iced tea. Have just started making my own kefir and kombucha. And have started juicing.
This blog is about food -- cause like I said - I like to talk about it - It may seem all over the place sometimes -- but that is me - all over the place looking for the next best bite .........
Look for bi-weekly postings
Oh and the picture -- me enjoying my friend's cheeseburger that was named after him at Finncastles in Greensboro NC -- The Joel Burger -two steak burgers, pimento cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato & Fincastle sauce on grilled sour dough and you have to wash it down with green drink.
