At Mashed, I write about food news and history, with a focus on grocery, restaurants, and home cooking. From oysters to Zohran Mamdani to food safety, I love to bring a new perspective, careful research, and a little humor to what I write.
At Food Trade News, I write news and analysis about the grocery business. I cover primarily the New York metro area and specialize in writing about independent grocers. If you've ever wondered what happens now that Amazon Fresh has closed all of its stores, or what's happened to former Rite Aid locations, check out my reporting.
CRITICAL ESSAY
A look at interesting food history in the Garden State, along with particularly promising food futures.
PHOTO ESSAY
A "where are they now" of the grocers of Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1925.
I started visiting, photographing, and writing about supermarkets back in 2015. Since then, I've photographed over 5000 current and former grocery stores, and my website has more than three million pageviews.
