Food & Dining
Where to eat, what to cook, and the kitchen tools that make it happen.
My food philosophy
Cook at home
I start cooking at 6AM most days. There's something grounding about making your own food before the day gets loud.
Explore & try new things
Half my best meal discoveries came from random places I walked into. Say yes to the weird menu item.
Tools matter
A good knife, a decent pan, and a reliable blender will change your cooking more than any recipe. Invest in the basics.
Kitchen Essentials

The one knife you actually need. Balanced, sharp, and lasts forever.

Cast iron that doesn't need seasoning. Perfect sear every time.

Smoothies, soups, nut butters — it does everything. Counter workhorse.
