More often than not, my stomach is the guiding force of my life. I'm interested in every facet of food: where it comes from, how the Top Chefs on Bravo prepare it, how to cook cheaply but deliciously on my own, how to host a dinner party, the best eats when I'm travelling, the history of food and its influence on culture, and ultimately how food is a gateway to the human experience. Because hey, we all have to eat.
Among the ramblings of Loquaciousness, I track my food-oriented posts with ... well, the tag food. I also wanted to lay it out a bit clearer here, whether it's my own cooking & social experiments (which I began labeling in August 2013 as the Cooking Chronicles) or restaurant reviews, both local and through my travels. I apologize because some of the posts are not entirely food-focused, but please let me know if you delve into similar food adventures and want to drool over the magic of brown-butter.
