Welcome to my food blog. What you will find posted are the places I visit as a fellow foodie as I travel the US and the world. I've arranged the site by city so if you want to check out Philly or Seattle or Sydney just type it in the search box. You can also search all post for a particular location. Tags for each post allow you to search based on common descriptions. Since I live in Seattle you'll see many of those local spots highlighted in my posts. You can also search by Seattle neighborhood.
