Born and raised a tiny village in upstate New York, I am a culinary veteran with over 30 years of experience working in restaurants, catering, in the natural foods industry, and as a culinary educator. Now, I find myself to be a 50-year old, mostly vegan, dedicated devourer who prefers street food to a typical white linen fine dining experience. I spent a year traveling and eating around the world to better understand food. I was a winner of “Denver’s Best Home Chef” contest, appeared as a guest chef on several morning programs and once competed on an obscure Food Network trivia game show, where I came in second and won a year's supply of Jordan Almonds and Junior Mints.

Boulder, United StatesFreelance
Something About Food? is a podcast that gives me, Chef Chris Clarke, the chance to invite everyone to the table. We all have to eat, and I am just the food dork to chat with you about it. Diverse guests will be talking about how food impacted them, and the tasty, memorable and outright ridiculous things they’ve eaten. It isn’t just food, it's people, their connections to what they eat and us.
