Hello from St. Petersburg, FL

[KevinG]

Hello everyone. I'm a food writer / restaurant reviewer, and private chef. (I've had a couple of fine dining, tasting menu, pop-up events too.) I love all of the world cuisines that I have eaten and cooked.

 

I cook - 

 

Italian
Chinese
Japanese
Indian
Mexican
Mediterranean
American
Middle Eastern
Peruvian regional and Nikkei

 

I can't believe how long these forums have been around and I just found them now.

eGullet has a brief, one line mention near the end of the book - "The United States of Arugula: The Sun Dried, Cold Pressed, Dark Roasted, Extra Virgin Story of the American Food Revolution", which is how I found my way here.

I'm looking forward to participating here.

Welcome, Kevin. Lots of fun and informative rabbit holes here—many from way back when.

 

Speaking of way back when, I also found eG via a one-line mention, but in 2003, in the third paragraph of this article in the New York Times Magazine—and in a quote from pre-Alinea Grant Achatz, no less.

Welcome @KevinG - I look forward to your contributions!

 

I have always wondered - if food is your job, do you also cook for fun?

Welcome! All the other categories are at least familiar to me although I know that each covers quite a bit of ground. This grouping, however, is quite unfamiliar to me. Can you describe it/them a bit? And how did you arrive there?
