I'm writing my first post, as so many others have. My name is Amanda, I'm 24, and food has always been a passion of mine. I love cooking, restaurants, farmers markets, watching others cook, cooking classes, eating, planning menus, dinner parties, reading about culinary trends... I'm basically an enthusiast for all things gastronomic. When I was very young (5-9) and cooking shows barely existed, I would watch infomercials on pasta makers and rotisseries! I must have been born with it.
I work at Corduroy in DC as the hostess and also as private events planner. My last job was running a research study on smoking expectancies for a hospital, so as you can guess my job in the restaurant has little to do with what I studied in college. I am what has become the stereotypical 24-year-old... interested in so much and saddened by the thought of choosing just one career path
My general manager actually told me about this site and I am happy to join. I've been a member of Chowhound, a very active member of Yelp.com, and an avid food blog reader. I'm happy to be involved professionally in the DC dining scene and appreciate having a forum for communication.
