New York Contributor

Kyle is Canadian born and bred, but has lived in New York since 2011. She came to restaurant writing by first covering home cooking for publications like Bon Appétit and Taste. Her love of restaurants started in her late teens when she was working front of house. After passionately eating her way through the city, she was finally qualified to put her research to work and write about restaurants. If she’s not traveling, she dabbles in travel journalism. You can also find her toiling away on a script — she writes those, too.
