  • Chris spent the first 35 years of his life in Chicago, one of the world's greatest food cities. He's more open to other regions' pizza varieties than most Chicagoans, but he believes ketchup on hot dogs should be illegal.
  • He and his wife enjoy making copycat recipes of popular restaurant dishes, and then trying to improve upon them. Don't eat their version of Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana if you ever want to enjoy the original again.
  • Being raised by parents who grew up dirt poor in the south and had to get creative with every single meal has taught Chris how to level up a lot of inexpensive dishes.

Experience

After spending a few years as an independent video game blogger, Chris began his professional writing career proper in 2013 when he started writing for ScreenRant. He subsequently wrote for TheGamer, TheThings, and The Talko, as well as serving as a lead editor for Comic Book Resources. He joined the Static Media family in 2022, where he has also written for Looper and SVG. As a writer for Tasting Table, Chris enjoys writing about the culture around food, covering food-based reality shows, and reminiscing about nostalgic food traditions and defunct food products.

Education

Chris attended Northeast Iowa Community College, where he earned his Associate of Arts degree in communications. He followed that up with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Arizona State University.
