The Daily Yum Yum

The Daily Yum-Yum was created as an outlet for foodie experiences. I caught the foodie bug a few years back during my tenure at Commander's Palace, a beautiful grande-dame restaurant in New Orleans. Every day was an educational foray into the exciting world of food and wine. Whether I was typing out recipes for the newest cookbook, partaking in wine tastings for special events, or simply reading up on what I knew would be my industry of choice, there was new information to be absorbed every day. I lapped it up.

My good friend Tory McPhail encouraged my learning, and before long, I was a full blown foodie. I would like to dedicate this blog to Tory and our friend Chris Barbato, who would always describe something little and delicious in a dish or a recipe as a "yum yum," thus inspiring the title of this blog. Thank you, guys, for always encouraging me and allowing me to ask the questions.
