This Hippo loves food. I started in high school at a 'gourmet' pizza kitchen and worked there for about 3 years learning that pizza isn't confined to just sauce, mozzarella, and dough - and also my first experience with customer service. Next I moved on to an in-store french style bakery where again, as the person manning the counter and assisting customers I learned more about how people think and talk about food. Now I'm working in marketing at a food company and am again learning so much.
I'm starting to rate restaurants on a 5 point scale - 1 is terrible, please don't ever consider going to this location and 5 is pure dining heaven. Hope it helps in your search for the perfect place to dine!
Rule #1
I'll try anything once.
(ie. uni, ostrich, goat testicals, chicken feet, fish stomach etc.)
Life Changing Food Moment
At Twenty Five Lusk in San Francisco.
The Cauliflower Creme Brulee: "Cauliflower crème brûlée sunchoke escabeche, truffled wild arugula is a play on a sweet savory dish like salted caramel ice cream. If you like these combinations go for this dish and its thin crusted crème brûlée with a light cauliflower flavor."

Not that you will, because my photos are awful, please ask permission before using a photo. Pictures are captured with...my htc phone or my digital camera. No I'm not one of those fancy food bloggers who has a Nikon camera and props purchased at Crate and Barrel.
