A start

As we took off from San Diego airport and began to pass the time a friend of mine leaned over, and commented as to the number of food photos I have on my phone. As we discussed it more I realized that i have a tendency to catalogue the places I go, specifically the food I eat, and the way the places it is served shapes its flavors, and desirability.

I believe in a few things, one of them the impact that food has on people, and the community it represents. I have found passion in food. Making it, eating it, exploring the history of it, and why it is unique based on the region, people, even the family it represents. All of us should be able to recall a time, and place in our history where food has made an impression on us, good or bad. Recall a time when you walked into a place and immediately were transported to a time and place in your past that represented a fond memory of family, friends due to the smell, or taste of food.

Food is wonderful. It's social, its intimate, it's a peacemaker, it's friends, it's family.
