Author: Gavin Andrews

Gavin Andrews has spent his life as student of hospitality and gastronomy, holding degrees and certifications in culinary anthropology and alcoholic beverage nerdery. He began his career washing dishes in a local taqueria in his teens and has worked as a Manhattan night cook, underground sommelier, executive chef for an award-winning Red Mountain winery, and everything in between. When he’s not writing about the intersections of cuisine and cultural movements, both modern and historic, Gavin can be found enjoying tabletop roleplaying games, losing aux privileges for refusing play anything but melancholy queer breakup anthems, and forgetting his safety gloves while woodcarving.
