Food Journalist

In addition to co-moderating LTHForum.com, the Chicago-based Culinary Chat Site, and contributing to Gapers Block, I write reviews and longer articles for local Chicago publications including The Chicago Reader and Time Out Chicago.

Mexican Regional Cuisine
For the Chicago Reader, I recently wrote a series of six articles, each focusing on the foods of specific Mexican states and referencing restaurants in Chicago where you can find this regional cuisine. Check out the articles:

Part 1, Jalisco (PDF link)
Part 2, Michoacan (PDF link)
Part 3, Oaxaca (PDF link)

Part 4, Veracruz
Part 5, Guerrero
Part 6, Yucatan, Nayarit, Nuevo Leon, and others

Save These Restaurants
For TimeOut Chicago, I’ve done several pieces, including a few intended to help “save” beloved restaurants that need more business:

Klas
Lutnia
Mundial Cocina Mestiza
Pizza Art Café
Smak Tak
