About the Author

My name is Cathryn and I am a self-proclaimed foodaholic. I like anything food, including cooking, reading, learning, rating, reviewing, and of course, eating. My goal is to develop a comprehensive blog to share my food experiences. This project started as an outlet and developed into an obsession.

P.S. - Bribes and comps are more than welcome, but they will do little to sway my opinions, for I am dedicated to the objectivity that underlies the integrity of this blog.
