About IzzieBytes

The former iteration of this blog, Boston Bytes, was a love letter to the underrated food scene in the old city and its surrounding neighborhoods. Beyond lobster rolls, the greater Boston area is home to a number of amazing restaurants and eateries and continues to serve up amazing food choices whether you’re looking for a quick bite or in it to drop some cash on fine dining.

Reborn from a previous more generic food blog that went idle, I wanted to revive the documenting of my foodie adventures in a post-lockdown world to bring attention and business back to our amazing restaurants and service workers who were and continue to be deeply affected by the pandemic.

Since my recent move I’ve re-branded slightly to cover the amazing world of food, drink, and entertainment across the eastern seaboard and beyond. Now a digital nomad, I’m excited bring way more to the table than before. 

About Me

I’ve always been a lover of food and am a self-taught home chef. I learned how to cook in middle school when my mom had to spend time away taking care of a sick relative. Up until that point I had taken for granted the love an effort she put into making sure we had great meals most nights of the week. 

My dad had a taste for fine dining and would often take us out to some some of his favorite spots, and so I have very early memories of enjoying great restaurants in New York City and New Jersey. 

When I moved to Boston, I had the pleasure of befriending a few local foodies who gave me the inside scoop on some of the best food the city had to offer, and I have since learned the tricks of the trade to finding great spots on my own.

Now that I’m headquartered in Central Florida, I spend a lot of time traveling up and down the East Coast to visit friends, family, and new places! I’m thrilled to carry on the legacy and love of food with those I care about that my parents and family instilled in me.
