Loves dining. He plans trips around food destinations all over the world. He’s a very successful and busy TV writer here in Los Angeles, but when you hear him speak about the people and places he meets in his travels you think, this guy should be a food writer too. If he ever decided to go commercial with his passion, I think he would have a James Beard Award of his own. He’s the first guy to call when you need dining recommendations in any city, and one of our all-time favorite occupants of the corner bar seat.
