Melodi Steinberg (Owner/Editor)

I’m Melodi! I may be Petite in size but my palate would beg to differ. Growing up my family ate out as much as 3-4 times a week so I have developed a sincere appreciation for dining out.  I love the unlimited choices, the ability to try something new, and having my glass magically refilled isn’t so bad either. I am a firm believer that everyone should eat out more often and do less dishes.

I also have 3 young children and enjoy taking them out to eat as well.  I feel it is a wonderful way to broaden their tastes and introduce them to new and exciting food choices. Ordering a dish that I wouldn’t typically fix at home can be very inspiring and entertaining.

I created this blog as an avenue for people to experiment with their own palates.

Remember, life is short, so eat good food!

I’m Erin! A tap dancing, ghost hunting, Disneyland going, happily married mom of 2. And you know what else? I LOVE TO EAT! I eat when I am stressed, I eat when I am happy, I eat when I am sad, I eat when I am waiting for dinner to cook…..you get the picture. Food has always been a huge comfort to me and being able to share my food experiences with others is what I enjoy most. I love going to restaurants because I get to try new foods and it means I don’t have to do the dishes. I also am a big fan of cooking. The rule in our house is I cook and hubby cleans…so it’s a win-win for me!
