Hi there. I'm a Brooklyn-based writer and editor who writes predominately about food and culture. I was most recently the editor of Eater’s Eater at Home website; I also used to be the food editor at San Francisco magazine and a reporter and research editor for The Village Voice, New York, and Elle. My writing has appeared in publications including The New York Times, T: The New York Times Style Magazine; The New Yorker online, Hazlitt, Taste, The California Sunday, New York, Saveur, WIRED, The Wall Street Journal, Elle, Lucky Peach, and The Art of Eating.

My essay “From Sex Cake to Spurned Salad,” written for Gilt Taste, won the 2013 IACP Bert Greene Award for Culinary Memoir. My story “The Toxic, Abusive, Addictive, Supportive, Codependent Relationship Between Chefs and Yelp,” written for San Francisco, won the 2015 James Beard Foundation Journalism Award for Food and Culture; I was also nominated for a 2018 James Beard Award for profile writing for “The Untold Story of the Lady From Louisville and the Bubbe Who Wasn’t There,” written for Taste. I've also co-written two cookbooks: The Big Gay Ice Cream Book (Clarkson Potter, 2015) and The Basque Book(Ten Speed Press, 2016), and worked as a developmental editor and proposal writer.

In another lifetime, I was a cook and baker at a few different establishments, and graduated from the French Culinary Institute, where I spent six months carving potatoes into minute football shapes and sweating profusely over a hot stove. In my spare time, I can usually be found walking my dog, studying French, or biking all over the city.
