Even from an early age I have been obsessed with food, but it wasn't until my epic round the world trip that I began to see how large a role it played in my daily life. I watched as the motivation for my travels slowly morphed from hitting major landmarks and sightseeing, to seeking out and sampling the very best food the various cultures and countries had to offer. This philosophy still holds true, and I often find my free time spent exploring the corners of the pacific northwest, checking out the endless restaurants, food carts, and markets this amazing area has to offer.
