Experience

Jack is a writer covering cuisine and film. During his travels, he has found that locals often give enthusiastic answers to questions about their region's food and drink, whether it be brewery culture in Franconia, BBQ in Austin, Cullen skink in Fort William, or po-boys, jambalaya and chicory-blend coffee in New Orleans. At home and abroad, Jack tends to restrict indulgence to when he's eating out and balances this with a high protein, low carb diet at home (with a dash of beer and wine, of course). Novelties wear thin even with the best dishes, so he is always looking for new ways to prepare beef, chicken, pork, lamb, and seafood. Outside of Tasting Table, you can find collections of Jack's writing at Rotten Tomatoes and Authory.

Education

Jack has a bachelor's degree in English and a master's degree in military history.
