Around the World...

Hi, I'm Brady.

Below you will see the first blog post I have ever written. I have been talking about writing this for more than a year but I had that small problem of constantly making fun of other people for blogging. But, hypocrisy not withstanding, here goes.

A few things about me. I am a married to a wonderful, understanding, patient woman. I am father to a beautiful, awesome, adventurous eating little 2 year old boy. 

I love food. I love the food experience. The challenge of making something laborious or elaborate for the first time. The excitement of trying something new and, especially, something weird. The fun and pride in the moment of serving someone a dish that I have made and seeing that they truly enjoy it.

Im a big Alton Brown fan as well as a fan of quoting movie lines. I mention this as a warning. Should I continue this blog you will most likely notice the influence of both.

I will be 30 years old in Feb of this year, 2011. I plan to drink something older than myself on one the days prior, a whiskey I would imagine, so I will stick to this at least until that point - so that I can write about it. Ironically, that will be about the 30 day mark from this, my first post, and I've heard people say something about if you do something for 30 days then you stick to it - or something like that.

My favorite place on earth, currently, is Sullivan's Island, SC.

As incredibly not-smart as she is, I have a cocker spaniel named Lily that I love very much.

The point of writing this blog, Around the World in a Million Bites, I guess is to show that even within the confines of a region, state or city, it is still possible to discover wonderful food, people and stories from around the globe - no passport necessary.

That reminds me, and those who know me can attest, what I love more than most things is to tell stories...
