As mentioned before, lately I've been going to many college interviews and overall pondering my future. One specific question I've been asked multiple times is: What do you do for fun? And, each time, the first thing that has popped into my mind has been food. Whenever I have some free time, I love to spend it enjoying a variety of foods with good company. In this past issue of Torch, my school newspaper, I wrote a comparative food review of Meatheads and Five Guys. Whether it involves writing, discussing, or my favorite -- eating, I absolutely love food and it does play an important role in my life. Of course, that is universal. Everyone needs to eat, but what exactly we choose to eat sheds a bit of light on to who we are.

So, to give you a bit more insight into who I am and what I enjoy, here is another list blog!

Favorite appetizer:

Buffalo wings, specifically from Yard House.

Favorite soup:

New England Clam Chowder, specifically from Bob Chinn's Crab House.

Favorite salad:

Chopped salad, only at Portillo's Hot Dogs.

Favorite side:

Mashed potatoes, specifically from The Gage.

Favorite entrée:

Brisket, must be made by my mom!

Favorite style of cuisine:

It's a tie between Mexican and Japanese.

Favorite dessert:

Strawberry shortcake cheesecake from Junior's.

Just writing this is making me hungry! 
As noted above, one of the greatest things about food is that our need for it is universal. Everyone can appreciate food and it is often a way to connect with others and explore various cultures. 
Feel free to provide some of your own recommendations in a comment!
