Her work has appeared in U.S. News & World Report, The Points Guy, Parade, Time Out, and more.

Fun Facts

  • Lives in
    Miami, FL
  • First Resy ever made
    Shaya in 2017 — I planned a whole trip to New Orleans around it.
  • Restaurant you’ve been to the most
    Flanigan’s.
  • Drink of choice
    Anything with guava or passionfruit.
  • Next on your bucket list
    I’m about to make the meat lover’s ultimate pilgrimage to Dario Cecchini’s butcher shop in Tuscany. Still need to plan a Napa Valley trip around a French Laundry reservation one day.
  • Your Ratatouille moment
    Watching “30 Minute Meals” on Food Network every day after school, feeling confident I’d cook an easy, delicious dinner like that every night when I grew up (only to discover I’d much rather try a new restaurant).
  • Last meal on earth
    Grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce and a glass of red wine.
