David lives in Brooklyn where he's spent more than a decade covering all things edible, including meal kit services, food subscriptions, kitchen tools and cooking tips. Whilst earning a BA in English from Northeastern he toiled in nearly every aspect of the food business (including as a line cook in Rhode Island where he once made a steak sandwich for Lamar Odom.) Right now he's likely somewhere stress-testing a blender or the best way to cook bacon. Anything with sesame is his all-time favorite food this week.
