We are certainly not food authorities. We are definitely not chefs. We are not even great cooks. Mainly what we are is eager. We also have certain technical skills that support eagerness in terms of finding things on the web and presenting them to you in a convenient way. We hope you will find the linkstofood.com site and blog a useful tool in feeding your own eagerness.

You may notice a certain bias towards Californian, Hawaiian, and Asian food in Roy’s blog articles. That is a matter of circumstances, and has nothing to do with what is “best” on some absolute rating system of world foods. It’s only what he happens to know best. Paul is more of a down-home New England guy, who through circumstances now resides in Florida. That helps balance things out. In any case, we want nothing should preclude savoring the joys of a really good borscht.

Their is a fine line between “interesting and unusual” and “weird and bizarre.” By and large, we’re willing to leave bizarre to Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern. We’re aiming to expand the universe of foods that most people will enjoy immediately, rather than being a taste that is difficult to acquire. What “naturally” tastes good easily is, alas, also a matter of taste. We’ll do our best to describe food experiences so you can be the judge.
