About

Welcome to my Foodie Blog! You guessed it, it is all about food (eating and cooking). I cover everything from food trucks, wine, spirits, cocktails, cooking, high-end restaurants, gastromic travel, artisan farms, and food trends. I live in Orange County, California so many of my posts are about Southern California. Although Travel is my other passion, so I regularly include “Gastromic Travel” posts whenever possible. Thank You for visiting my Food Blog and tell your friends

About the Food Bloggers

Tom Holmberg (Founder/Food Blogger ):  ”I grew up in a cultural diverse neighborhood and a culturally diverse family, so I have learned to appreciate all types of food.”  Tom is not a Chef, nor does he play one on T.V, but has learned to appreciate food on its merits by years of eating and cooking. Tom also spent 10 years in the restaurant industry in various roles from Prep Cook to Waiter. He has a keen eye and low tolerance for bad service and overcharging customers for bad food. Tom likes dishes that are innovative, full of flavor and utilize locally grown  and sustainable ingredients. Tom has served as Judge at The O.C.
