Freelance holistic therapist

I sizzle, chop and saute for 10 hours a day as head chef for one of Australias most well known celebrity chefs- Bill Granger, in his iconic Sydney restaurant Bills.

On a medical benefit, voluntary work in the community and occasionally looking for paid employment... "boring" stuff compared to some of you guys! (@ you FastFoodCritic! ;-) )

My wife and I are retired; we fly fish six months and hang out in Tucson for the other six. We take three mags; Saveur, Flyfishing, and The Economist. We cook mostly Indian/ Asian as we worked in Asian rainforests for 30 years.

In the past, I've always worked in either the entertainment industry (musician) or in Sales. I am now the happy owner of a small little catering company in Nashville. I only work smaller events because I want to keep it focused more on quality and fun. I don't want to turn my love of food into a chore!!

I'm the guy that pilots the blimp at large events !

I have been doing customer service for about 4 years in the cell phone industry. I work for the evil empire, see the death star logo on our phones.

Before that I was working in Radio and TV, as cameraman and board op. I am a life long media guy, doing photography, videography/film, running sound for the different churches I have belonged to. My degree is in photo journalism.

However I have only been cooking for about 4 years. I was lucky enough to marry an italian girl from NJ. (I'm from OK) She makes the best food of anybody I know, except for some reciepes I make. She is the cook here. I make special dishes, she does the everyday stuff and rocks at it.

Anyway I took up food as a hobby thinking if you're going to have a hobby this is a practical one. Unfortunately it has ruined so much food I used to eat. Amazing how blissfully ignorant you can be about the food you eat until you learn how to make good food.

To all those who blog here and read this and are current or former military, Thank you for your service. You understand better than many how expensive a dish freedom is to serve to our children. Thank You.

I have a day job working for an online food magainze and do this - www.gastrogirls.com - whenever i can - you know, between wishing i wasn't here and dreaming of food, fame and fortune.

heee!

I write news blurbs for a web site a couple of days a week. I say I'm a freelancer, which allows me to think that I have a "real" job, when the bulk of my time is taken up with my two girls and hubby. I also cook for everyone in sight!

I'm a Legal assistant in a Personal Injury law firm.. I'm always planning and thinking about food though.. I want to get into catering eventually... I miss working in the kitchen, but you probably won't see me working in a restaurant kitchen again anytime soon.

I'm an IT professional, used to be a programmer, now project manager. But all I really do is think of food all day, plan dinner, and my blog. I live for the day I escape the industry and work in a kitchen!

Sssh... don't tell anyone ;)

Right now I'm not workin' and not lookin'. We'll be relocating soon to Atlanta and I plan to open an as yet undetermined food-related business there. (Which I promise will not be a sit-down restaurant.) We're gaining lots of contacts in the restaurant scene in Atlanta and I'm hoping this will assist me in my efforts.

I've worked in the past as an executive assistant and in professional kitchens. Even when I worked in offices, I always got my feelgoods in the foodie world by catering or baking for restaurants; not to mention throwing big parties for birthdays and other significant days. I also had a gourmet group which was nice because there were six other maniacs like me quelling the cooking jones.

Due to medical issues I am a part of the shopping, manicure-getting, lunching crowd (not wine drinking due to the afore mentioned issues). I also spend alot of time at my various doctors offices and sleeping. When not doing those things I cook alot for Mr. Panda and the ever STARVING teenage Panda son!!!
