“Food, for me, isn’t a small thing. It’s one of the great loves of my life. Not just the food itself, but the experience—beautiful places, great cocktails, local ingredients. A well-designed plate, a warm light, a quiet clink of glasses on a sunny afternoon. That’s where most of my joy lives: aesthetic locations, great food, and the sun.”
Some journeys don’t begin at the airport—they start at the corner bakery.
This piece tasted like memory: flaky, rich, imperfect. It wandered the way a real walk does—led by scent, by craving, by the sudden urge to take the long way home. And beneath the desserts and detours? A quiet thesis: that joy is local, and belonging is baked-in.
What if exploration isn’t always escape—but return?
What if indulgence is how we remember we're alive?
