About this Blog

I love to eat. Anything. Really. Unfortunately, I can't cook, much less bake. I can do scrambled eggs, since every egg dish I do turns scrambled. I love steaks, burgers, bacon, butter, beer and chocolate. And now I have to deal with cholesterol levels and hypertension. I've always wondered why the good stuff is usually bad.   But an evolving palate made me rediscover seafood. And salad. I love diving and I should go diving more often. I enjoy photography, it's therapeutic and helps me cope with the stress of everyday life. But I still have a lot to learn, and slowly venture away from the safe "auto" mode and experiment with other camera settings...which I also aim to do in other things, and stop being "safe" for a change. Time to suck the marrow out of life! 

And no, I'm not a food critic or reviewer. I don't have the culinary background nor training to say if this risotto is technically correct. My blog simply chronicles stories and experiences around food and travel. And document what's new and available out there. It's as simple as that. And with taste being subjective, think of my posts only as a rough guide to the metro's infinite offerings.

In the last five years, I was fortunate enough to travel and visit some amazing places, with equally amazing food, which gave me the idea of starting this blog.  I enjoy discovering new dining places, whether its a hole in the wall down the neighborhood, a fine dining establishment or a new chain, or a local hangout in another country. 

All my posts are on restaurants, but maybe, just maybe, I may surprise you with something homemade. Could be scrambled eggs, could be something else. Who knows.

This is my first blog, and you can tell since I am just doing an "About Me" page only now, many months after my first ever post. I'm no techie, so I'm still fumbling around with the many features and functions of this blog. So bear with me, but I promise it will be a fun ride. Good food. Good times. Life's too short. Live it.

By the way, I'm Gerry San Miguel. Or you can just call me Dude for Food. And thanks for dropping by...
