about
Amanda is a well-respected food and travel writer and entertaining expert whose work can be found in Food & Wine magazine, The Washington Post, Time Out and Capitol File, among others. She also regularly shares her savvy cooking, home decor and party tips on TV.
Growing up in a food-obsessed family in North Carolina, Amanda could be found at an early age munching on snap peas in her parents’ garden or slurping shellfish at oyster roasts out in the country.
After working at several publications as a food critic, editor and designer, she ditched her day job to pursue a full-time career in food writing. She founded Metrocurean in 2005 and relaunched it with a fresh new design in 2010.
Amanda is regularly called on to give her expert opinion on DC’s food scene and has been quoted by NPR, The Los Angeles Times, National Geographic Traveler and FoxNews.com.
Metrocurean is a must-read for DC food lovers.
