A bit about moi

I’m Jessie and I like love everything related to me eating food.

Savory-bites is a compilation of only a fraction of the food that has entered into my human gastrointestinal tract. What started as a side project to get people off my back for asking me where to eat has now turned into a full blown food blog, covering restaurant reviews in NYC/NJ and cooking/baking recipes.

Here are some things you might like to know about me…

-I hate soup. I hate beans. I dislike shellfish (but love fish). I’ll eat just about anything else.

-My favorite foods are ice cream and cheese.

-A couple of my dream jobs include being an astronaut and working at a chocolate factory. The former is still possible. Currently, I analyze… things.

-I can touch my tongue to my nose.

-I had 14 teeth pulled out (yeah, no joke).

-I think you should check out Charity: Water and give to the cause.

-My best friend’s endearing pet name for me is Piggie. Quite appropriate.

Of course, here are some answers to some relevant questions you might have:

What type of camera/lens do you use?

I shoot with a Canon Rebel XT. It’s an entry DSLR, but works well as it’s light and portable. It’s also really the lens that counts. For restaurant shots, I use a Canon 50mm/1.8f  and for recipe shots, I use a Tokina 100mm/2.8f.  The 50mm sells for around $100 on Amazon and is a steal if you’re wondering.

How do you afford eating out so much?

Ah ha! You’re wrong! I actually don’t eat out that much. Even throughout college, during which I constantly blogged about restaurant reviews, I probably spent less than your average college Joe on food. By bringing lunch everyday, making my own coffee (I keep a french press at work), and restraining eating out to two-three times a month, I find that I can splurge a bit when I do go out while still saving.
