I’m a food enthusiast living in Pittsburgh, PA.

I would say I go out to eat at least few times a week or whenever I decide food in my fridge is disappointing.

I joke that my diet is mainly pizza, burgers, chocolate, Chinese food, sushi, beer and whiskey, but in reality that’s probably not too far from the truth.

I take photos of my food so I can show off, make others say wow, and annoy those who don’t care.

When I cook, I often make enough food for 10 people even though I live alone.

I eat salads only to counter the many other unhealthy things I eat. As Homer, Bart and Marge Simpson once sang, “You don’t win friends with salad.”

Taste of food is definitely important, but I’m sometimes willing to sacrifice quality for quantity at a buffet.

When I’m not eating I’m usually enjoying baseball games, TV shows, movies or rock concerts, but there’s a possibility I’m eating while enjoying any of those too.

I’ve discovered a desire to travel more after realizing I haven’t seen enough of the world. My favorite thing to do when traveling is eat.
