I’ve made it New York! My love for travel has temporarily subsided due to my passion for all things food and New York … at least for the time being. Having been in North Carolina at college for the last four years I’m starving for REAL bagels, 24/7 dining joints, bars to be open until 4 am, the parks, the people, and most importantly the food, food, food! Mangia!
After gobbling up (figuratively, not literally) every article, TV show, movie, or book about food during the last eight years, I’ve finally come to a point in my life where I’m living out what I’ve alway wanted to do. Scary.
I grew up with a family (and group of friends) that love(d) to eat and drink to excess. Yes, excess. Everything in moderation … even moderation. Donning this attitude, from an early age I learned to NEED good food and wine – both home-cooked and out.
I’d say about the same time I hit puberty (which admittedly, was later than others my age) I realized that not only that I wanted but NEEDED to work in the food industry.
After studying English and Entrepreneurship in college I graduated cum laude and decided to pursue my passion for food; most importantly sweets – pastry! Chocolate, baked goods, ice cream! I was accepted to The French Culinary Institute and began on Monday, the adventure is just beginning, and I’m beyond elated.
There are many many people of whom I owe thanks to. Elaborations on each of these groups that helped build my “food repertoire” will come later, but until then I’d like to give a shout out to The Eat Well Guide and Sustainable Table and Kimberly Belle and Dinner Belle Catering Company
