The Story Behind the Writer

Born in the Midwest and raised in the South, Samantha has eaten at a culinary crossroads her whole life. She started writing about food and wine for publications like Modern Farmer, FoodPrint, and SevenFifty Daily, among others, to explore these connections between food cultures, preferences, and material realities. Now based in the Northeast, Samantha spends her weekends shucking oysters on her balcony, learning about wine, and trying every beef stew recipe she can get her hands on.
