  • His popular blog, which eventually evolved into a satirical cookbook, was praised by The New York Times, Time, The Associated Press, CNBC, and Saveur.
  • His notoriety as a "food expert" landed him appearances on Cooking Channel and National Geographic Channel's award-winning documentary show, "Brain Games."
