Getting Started...

I'm as big a Top Chef fan as the next foodie wannabe. I love watching what the chefs make each week and how they do it. Gastriques, foams, deconstructions... But season after season, one thing continues to irk (other than not being able to taste any of the dishes). Inevitably, there are challenges where these rising stars of the food industry need to cook for the "common" people. And, just as predictably, there are at least one or two chefs who feel the need to play down to their new audience. Which leaves me wondering- who do these chefs think are going to be patrons of their restaurants? It certainly isn't going to be a room full of professional food critics at each seating. It's going to be you and me.

I love good food. I love how it brings people together, transports you back in time to relive a memory, and comforts you after a bad day. For me, nothing beats enjoying a great meal (maybe even with a good glass of wine) and my mission is to share these experiences with you. I plan to share the good and the bad from fine dining to unassuming dives in and around Boston, all from the "common" girl's perspective.

Welcome to my first foray into the blogosphere. I look forward to bringing my food experiences to you!
