Welcome to MegaEats!

Hello my foodies! I am making it a goal to go out and just eat somewhere new ever so often. Why? Because I really love food. No, you don't understand. I REALLY  love food. It is something that is always there, always needed. You need to eat to survive, most people eat when they are upset, or sad, or happy. People just eat. We revolve around it, we eat at wedding, funerals, baby showers, birthdays, breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack here and there, it's always there.

Which, yes, you knew that but why am I telling you this? Because people go for easy food, but I don't just want the easy foods, I want the good food, I want to be able to eat a dish and know that the chef in the back is passionate about what they are doing. Most people don't notice that, heck, I know I didn't for the longest time. I just ate what my mom put in front of me at dinner time, now I can taste the love she puts into every meal for us. And as I grow older and am baking things for myself, I prefer the quality, the love for the food over the quantity or efficiency of it.

Don't get me wrong, I still eat fast food, I still pick quick and easy food that no one really likes but eats it anyway. It was always there and will always be there and I will always eat it. However, that doesn't mean I can't indulge and give myself a treat to some well loved, well made food. Trust me, it's nice to go out, have a nice meal and know someone is out there doing what they love. Hey, I'm on the other side of the kitchen at times too, I work, I bake for a resort and I know that what I give out is really good quality and that the person eating it will know that I'm doing what I love. Which, will hopefully inspire someone to do what they love some day too.

If you can't tell by now, I am pretty passionate (obsessed...) about food. I take it very serious and I hope that by reading and seeing my adventures around eating, you will want to go out, try something new that you would never have eaten before. I want people to take the risks that I am going to start taking and go and eat, go try that local diner that you thought was just some cheap hole in the wall. Who knows, that hole in the wall may be the best burger or steak or pasta dish you ever had. Or the worst. But hey, as my mom always told and taught me, you never know until you try. That goes for food too. So go, expand your pallets with me and spread the joy of food! Tell me about your great adventures while I tell you mine. Make this adventure with me, take this passion and spread the love around. Food is everywhere, not just something we mindlessly eat. Pay attention to the food you eat and really enjoy it.

Lets have an adventure together,
