If only I could be a Serious Eats correspondant...


Here's an homage to the Serious Eats profiles. If only..


Name: M. aka The Food Monstar Location: Canada
Occupation: T.A., full time eat monster

Guilty pleasures? the reaction people have to succulent or shocking food, dissecting fruit, Japanese Pretz, the first bite of a burger.

Describe your perfect meal. A pot of coffee, asparagus eggs Benedict poached medium with a side of Broadway's garlic-onion homefries, with a side of Mole Enchiladas. No room for dessert.
What food won't you eat? the dreaded combo of dill & vinegar, I also despise bitting into a piece of fat.

What would you like to try but haven't yet? Kobe beef.

Favorite food persons? George Motz for opening my eyes with his documentary "Hamburger America", and Ed Levine for giving foodies everywhere a place to call home (page).

When did you first realize you were a serious eater? When people started inviting me to parties and events just for the food.

What do your family and friends think of your food obsessions? They've learned to wait until I've taken a photo before diving into a dish; they all think it's rather neat-slash-annoying that I have a foodie obsession.

Favorite food sites or blogs? Serious Eats, A Hamburger Today, This is Why You're Fat, Cake Wrecks, Amateur Gourmet, The Kitchn

Everyone has a go-to person they call for restaurant recommendations. Who's yours? the Ottawa Foodies website.

What is your favorite meal of the day and where do you get it? Breakfast at Broadway's (those homefries!) or StoneFace Dolly's for their Eggs Benedict with Lemon Diablo Hollandaise sauce.

Do you ever cook? What's the best dish you make? Yes, I make the best chili you've ever had.
