What led me to this anyway?

Have you ever tried to find a hobby? Well if so, you know that it can be difficult actually finding something you're comfortable doing. That was my issue...until now. One fact about me is I LOVE FOOD. I always have. I'm the type of person who just sits and watches people cook, or who watches the Food Network. And, I am in LOVE with Anthony Bourdain! Anyway, so as a rising journalist and food lover I have decided to create my own food blog. Jan. 4, 2011, YOU GOTTA TRY THIS!!! has been born. Some people don't know what food journalism is. And, I hate to say it but this field ain't (yes I mean ain't) a "colorful" one if you know what I mean. As a student in a college town, I am always trying to find new places to hang out. And, who wants to chill with no food...right? Nobody. My aim is to bring a young, urban, and yes ethnic twist to food journalism. Food to me is not just for eating. It is a CULTURE. It is a LIFESTYLE. In food you can find a person's hardships and successes, the history of a nation, or just plain fun. So, I am looking for it all like mom and pop shops or major chains. Anything deemed to me as something you just gotta try. I will have pictures and videos of the places I visit, and you can refer to me places I gotta try as well. This blog is my baby, and I am excited. Oh yeah, did I mention I have absolutely no idea what I am doing?! I'M SIMPLY JUST FOLLOWING WHAT THE LORD PLACED UPON MY HEART! Let's see where this takes me :) .......... 


"Foodfully" yours
