new name, new look!

as you may have noticed, the name (and url, of course) of the blog has changed. two reasons - no.1: my life of eating alone came to an abrupt end, so no more tables for one; no.2: i got a lot of shit from friends who couldn't ever remember the name or url of the blog. yes, they should learn how to bookmark but i liked the challenge of coming up with another name that would both describe what the blog is all about and have an available url. "eats meets world" is actually pretty perfect for what this is all about - a marriage of my love of food and my love of travel. i'm pretty surprised no one took this name already.

and with every new identity and new beginning comes a makeover!

enjoy.

meat + fire + friends = fun

the launch

alrighty, then. i've finally started my new pet project.

i've resisted the idea of starting a blog for a long time. writing a blog assumes that there are people out there who want to read it and i didn't feel entirely comfortable admitting to such conceit. i'm still feeling a bit uneasy about putting something out there, whatever that something and wherever there might be. but here goes...

i keep getting requests from friends to send them lists of places that i liked to eat and drink at because i'm not around to take them there anymore. i also get random calls from peeps as they're in mid-search for a place to eat. then, of course, there are the requests for info about the places i've traveled. it's a damn good thing i'm such a nerd and keep a log/journal of my favorite restaurants, bars and places to stay. basically, from now on, i'm going to use this medium as my log/journal for food, drink, travel and other miscellaneous nonsense.
