Introduction

Those of you who know me must be baffled. Of all the people you know, I'm probably the least likely to start a food blog. I mean, I've never seen a full episode on the Food Network. I don't own a microwave, let alone a real oven. And even if I did, I'm pretty sure I couldn't boil an egg. But that's the whole point. I eat out 3 meals a day, 365 days a year. More than anyone I know, I depend on LA's abundance of restaurants to sustain me. Now granted, I'm no connoisseur, in fact I had to Google how to spell that word. My friends have a running joke that every meal I eat is the best meal I've ever had. I don't suppose that's far from the truth either, but it's not because I can't tell the difference. I'm just very open minded when it comes to eating. You kind of have to be when you constantly depend on someone else to prepare your food. But that's exactly why this blog should be appealing... who's more open minded than the guy with no expectations? Plus it should be worth it for most of you just to have a few laughs.

Let's get a few things straight right from the beginning:

- When I said I don't cook, I mean it. Never. Not mac and cheese, not spaghetti, not even peanut butter and jelly. I do enjoy all of those things, I just prefer if they're made for me.
- I eat at McDonalds. GET OVER IT! If fact, I eat at quite a few fast food restaurants. Come on, if you eat out every meal, you can't always have El Bulli.
- The closest I come to eating vegetarian is eating vegetarians. (It's been known to happen)
and finally
-I don't do carrots. I order almost everything just like it's read off the menu but carrots are a deal breaker.

I hope you will continue to follow this blog. I spend a great deal of time all over this city and will try to post on as many interesting dining experiences as I can. Of course, I would love to hear feedback as well. If there's some place you'd like to try but don't know if it's worth the journey/cost, you can bet I'm going to be eating out anyway so you might as well let me give it a go. If you have any suggestions as to places I should try, please submit them. Also, if you disagree with something I say, feel free to let me know in a comment. I'll probably delete it, but you should try anyway. I'll try to geocode most of the places I visit so you can find your way back there if you like. And of course, I always prefer to eat with company so give me a call if you'd like to join.

Bon appetite!
