About

This food blog is penned by Boston (maybe the Internet's) most gutsy blogger. Mmm, offal. I blog a lot about Boston food.

My mission: to inspire you to live an adventurous life through food.

If you need encouragement, read about my bizarre life: I was a beauty pageant contestant in Miss New York USA 2010 and ate delicious brains on video. (Separately.)
