What I cover
I write about all things food and drink, from the latest pop-ups to restaurant trends, and explore how food tells the region's story and connects us to the complex social fabric of Southern California.
My background
A lifelong resident of Southern California, my work has been featured on programs like Splendid Table and Good Food, and I've contributed to publications including L.A. Taco, Eater LA, Thrillist, Los Angeleno, KCET Artbound and The New York Times. In 2024, I was recognized as a James Beard semifinalist for audio reporting.
My goals
I aim to provide a current and up-to-date portrait of what’s happening in the Southern California food ecosystem by speaking with chefs, cooks, business owners — and you.
Best way to reach me
