Andrew Y., Creator, Editor, Writer
Created by Andrew, eatTALK.net was the food-centered, fast-fix to the "where should I go?" and "what should I make?" questions. Born into a multi-cultural family of food lovers (and eaters), Andrew has always explored cuisine as an art - experimenting in, experiencing, and photographing culinary endeavors - challenging the notion that 'food is JUST food.' Living and traveling abroad and in the U.S. furthered the fervor for flavor that leads him to explore new cities where the tongue can taste. Whether a modest pot luck or quaint cafe, the passion for food remains alive and strong!
When it comes to eating, Andrew has his staple cravings for a pizza pie, warm, flaky danish, or fried chicken. Personal tastes range from Spanish, Latin-American, Italian, French, to American (new and traditional), among many, many others. With so many eateries to choose from, it's hard to pick a starting point, but low to moderately priced and just plain delicious can make it easier!
If not off educating himself, creating his next painting, or writing, Andrew is having yet another eatTALK experience. You can find Andrew at the beach, in his kitchen developing new recipes, or in the city exploring local coffee shops and places to dine. You can also find Andrew at the gym, reading food news or watching food tv, inspiring a far better workout. A good eat is more than just eating and if you love food, indulge in eatTALK, Andrew's written and pictorial path to tasty!

Erin L., Guest Writer, 2012 - 2013
When Erin was 8 she asked a waitress about escargot. "Oh, they're snails," said the waitress. "You don't want to order those." Actually, Erin did (and loved them!), and ever since has been drawn to ingredients she's never seen before: if it's a local specialty, a unique regional food, or a rare preparation, she's gonna eat it. As a journalist she travels often seeking out THE place to go in town - preferably a hole in the wall. She's stumbled into the sweetest French bistro in Carson City, Nevada; the funkiest speakeasy in Tucson, Arizona; and the random Middle Eastern restaurant in Haiti.
When Erin can't enlist a friend to eat at a restaurant, you'll find her cooking something quick, light, and healthy. She adores Japanese food and farm-to-tablem nose-to-tail cooking. Also, she's got a sweet tooth, even though she wishes she could just say "no". When she's not eating, working, traveling (or a combination of all 3), she's running, yoga-ing, or feeding her retail addiction. For her latest international adventures, check out her very own blog Food Under Fire!

Jason owns a pin that boldly declares "I love you more than pork." He has yet to give it away.
Jason was born into a family of Hawaiians who eschewed TV dinners in favor of ahi poke and Spam fried rice, and an aunt whose pot roast was the highest expression of meltingly-tender love. Discovering the best 3 a.m. chilaquiles, developing the wine-in-food to wine-in-glass ratio for his recipes, and building the perfect bite: it's all in his designer genes. Writing about it was inevitable.
When not working the day shift as a marketing pro, Jason can be found indulging his karaoke obsession, converting friends to the ways of his guiltier libations, and eating - sometimes all at once.

His relationship with food greatly changed after he discovered acute health problems were exacerbated by disagreements with some of his most favorite foods. This revelation gradually shifted his palate to taste quality of ingredients over flavor profiles. It also sparked a passion for health and fitness. Despite such a set back, Kristopher can be found walking or biking across Los Angeles on the hunt for new eats as long as they don’t affect his well-being or contain his least-favorite food: raisins.
