Good Taste is the Worst Vice

About

“Good taste is the worst vice ever invented”

– Dame Edith Sitwell

***

There are so many serious issues in the world today, and while we can’t forget or ignore them, there’s always a place for the community we create through shared experiences and good meals.

So if…

  • You read cookbooks for fun, especially exotic ones that you’ll never actually cook from
  • You spend months planning trips (mostly where to eat!)
  • You search menus and wine lists online before heading to restaurants

…Then good taste may be your vice.

Welcome to my blog, where I love to share my latest trip, great meal, or recipe – I try to post once or twice a month.

A little about me
I grew up in Maryland (so I’m very particular about crab cakes), then headed to the Bay Area. I still haven’t gotten over the amazing California produce… and the Mexican food! After a brief stint in Philly, I settled down in Chicago, definitely one of the top restaurant cities in the US.

Introducing D
You’ll read about him a lot in these pages.  He’s my significant other, aka my favorite travel companion and dinner date.  Friends and family make an appearance too.

I hope you’ll join me on my adventures!
