After a wonderful dinner in a local restaurant, my wife and I decided to write a food blog, that for the most part will simply review our dining experiences. I have always been somewhat of a foodie and as I grew older, it certainly matured into specific tastes, knowing what complements what, and a passion for cooking altogether. I am proud to say that over the course of our relationship, I have drawn out the "foodiness" in her, and she has become quite qualified as well.
The blog title seems particularly appropriate for us. The Gastronome part of us comes out when we are dining in more upscale or our most fond establishments, attempting new dishes or reliving what we so enjoy about certain recipes. The Chowhound appears when gluttony rears its ugly head. It's is a sheer primal instinct for mere satiation. Ever since I turned my wife onto fresh mozzarella and prosciutto, she will often crave it. I am just as guilty with cheese. I will go to the grocery store just for cheese. To this, I remain unapologetic.
Both of us play each role interchangeably. Sometimes one at a time, often together. I tend to be more adventurous with food, she becomes an expert on trying variations on her favorite dishes. We are certainly amateurs in being food critics, but it is certainly enjoyable. It works well for us.
