Introduction

Hello everyone and welcome to The Cultural Chef. To get started, I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Matt and I am from Chicago, I was born in Wisconsin but have since moved. I have a BS in Anthropology from Loyola University of Chicago and an Associates of Applied Science in Culinary Arts from Kendall College. My work here will cover different kinds of food, the culture they come from and why that is important. I will also discuss how food is a very important interface between cultures in terms of getting to know each other. Posts will include both things I have eaten in other places, as well as food that I personally cook. Most of all, though, I want this to be a fun, informative place where we can all appreciate and get excited about different foods and different cultures.

Enjoy!
