FAQ

How have you found the time to eat at these places?
Well, I've lived in (or around) Akron since birth. This is my home. I've spent the last twenty years eating and eating well. Eating is also a very social activity. Which provides the people in my life and I with the perfect excuse to try new places.

Why are you a vegetarian?
I became a vegetarian when I was twelve. I'm not an animal rights activist or anything along those lines. I, however, just never liked meat. The texture creeps me out. I'm not a vegan and no, I do not eat fish.

Why are you focusing on local places?
As a general rule, I try and only support places that are local to an area. This isn't specific to just Akron, but rather everywhere I go. When you shop local more money stays within your community. This creates jobs, builds a community, and gives someone a chance to live out their dream. Plus local is (generally) more fresh, unique, and caring than any chain.
