Crawfish boil for the local opera orchestra

Well after much pushing from my wife I’ve finally decided to break into the world of blogging again.

I had a blog at one time mainly just to store my recipes and share them with my friends and family, but after years of working as a food scientist, opening managing and selling a restaurant, becoming a certified wild mushroom expert, and selling at farmers markets I’ve decided to share the real world of food with those around.  So welcome to the science of food and the art of cooking.

A few things to know about me.

  1.  I’m almost always sarcastic.  (My sister says she only listens to about 25% of what I say, that was hurtful)
  2. I’m fascinated by food production processes from fermentation, to rising, to culturing there is so much going on it is awesome.
  3. I don’t know everything (wife says I think I do, but this is me admitting to the world I don’t)
  4. I like to forage, wild stuff just tastes better (please don’t use things I say to make decisions about eating wild edibles)

Wild Huckleberries, Yum!!!!

So with all that welcome to the Original Food Dude, the place to go for all things foodie.

PS My two boys I guess would be the Foodie Doodies  hehehe.
