Most people will die from hit-or-miss eating than from hit-and-run driving

Summary

Enthusiastic and dedicated 'Bon Vivant' with a strong passion for exploring diverse cuisines and documenting restaurant experiences. My special interest above all is discovering the most mouth-watering places wherever I go to enjoy good drink and a meal.

Every week I try to visit one new bar, lounge, or restaurant.

Ranging from street food to Michelin rated restaurants demonstrating an appreciation for diverse culinary traditions. I credit my biracial background and ever-lasting curiosity in the food scene for identifying unique flavors and dining experiences.
