Los Angeles Contributor

Erin works in content and comms at a tech company, but her first love has always been food. She co-founded First We Feast, Complex Media’s food, drink, and pop culture offshoot, and has since written for Food & Wine, The Wall Street Journal, Soho House, Headspace, Airbnb, and more. When she’s not shaping tech narratives or feeding her soul with food stories, she’s probably hosting a dinner party or planning her next L.A. taco crawl with friends.
