I just wanted to share something I read today from Serious Eatsthat really inspired me and puts into words to express the special relationship one has with food. Some might think my food obsession is "weird," but food is my sense of adventure, my connection to family and friends and the creation of long lasting memories. After a hard day of work, I can't think of anything better to do but to go to the grocery store and plan out my meals for the week (ie. what I did last night). I love being able to share my travelings and food adventures with people who are maybe too scared to try or never get the amazing opportunities that I have had in my life. This statement is just one of the few things that makes me a proud food lover in world full of them.
I've often wondered why the food-obsessed do what they do. Why do we visit our favorite food blogs on a daily basis, gossip about restaurants, or view hours of cooking shows on television? I like to think that it's more philosophical than honest gluttony—perhaps it's part of the natural human curiosity instinct. Food is indeed a topic with no rules and limitless possibilities, and there's always something new to hold rapt our attention...
