Since moving to the Bay Area 8 years ago from Colorado, I've found my happy place cooking and exploring new restaurants in the Bay and beyond. I love reading, learning and watching anything related to the culinary arts. Figuring out how food, cultures, people and politics come together is my jam. There's nothing better than a hearty debate among good friends about whether you'd pick rice or noodles... to eat for the rest of your life. #TeamRice all the way!
When I'm not in the kitchen, you can find me trying to be a yogi, taking pictures of my food wherever I might be eating, rooting for the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Buffalos, out dancing with my girls, traveling with my #teamrice boyfriend or plotting my next food based adventure.
Food heroes include: David Chang, Roy Choi, Samin Nosrat, Chrissy Teigen, Dominique Crenn, Gabriela Camara, Gaggan Anand, Nancy Singleton Hatchisu, Anthony Bourdain, Julia Childs and my mom and grandma.
