Since we are food focused here, I thought I'd share a few tips for food writers specifically.

FAVORITE COOKING SHOWS

As I'm thinking about TV shows, I wonder what draws me in. For instance, Chefs Table; I love to hear the stories of the who/what/why/and how did they get to where they are.

My schedule doesn't permit me to hop on a plane and go to Thailand whenever I want, so I have to make the food at home when the urge strikes.

IF YOU COULD EAT A MEAL ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD IT BE?

It seems like every other day there is a new food trend in the news. Recently I had a great sampling of bugs. Yes, bugs, you read that right.
