The writer at the tender age of 6.
Known as “The Kitchen Bitch” within certain circles, I am a bourgeois fuck with a raging girl-boner for good food. I went to college in Iowa, waited tables for a while and play guitar in a band called White People Music. Sometimes I even cook!
Ideally, this blog is meant to chronicle the various missteps and strokes of genius that I encounter as I gradually figure out how to cook better. The restaurant write-ups are just my way of giving props to places that inspire me — with nostalgia, fear, admiration, whatever. For me (and a lot of other bourgie people on and off the internet), food and eating are things that can transcend bodily necessity to become much more interesting and fulfilling experiences.
Yeah! I’m a tool! I’m sorry!
Nice to meet you!
My best buddy Tim also contributes to this here blog once in a long while.

I had no idea you were so keen on food. Do you like opening restaurants on Portland? You should teach me how to cook next semester.
