Writing Samples: Food & Beverage
I’ve been blogging and writing about food since the turn of the century (yep, before “blogging” was even coined). I’ve also been a columnist at Serious Eats and a regular contributor at NYMag.com, New York Post, and Metromix (r.i.p.).
I also do non-food writing at my day job and elsewhere.
