Family Foodies Unite!

Ladies (and Gentlemen) of the Burke family, let the recipe sharing, restaurant reviewing, wine tasting and culinary commenting BEGIN!

I have started this blog as a follow up to a recent conversation with the aunts, cousins and grandmother of the Burke family. We felt that we needed an outlet to express and share our thoughts about all things food...from recipes that we make each day, to once in a lifetime dining experiences (and everything in between). With all of us culinary aficionados living throughout the Midwest, what better way to bring us all closer together than to blog about our toothsome travels!

So, I will initiate the first entry with an interpretation of the word "foodie" from a few world renown resources, so that we may keep in mind what this forum is all about:

food·ie
noun Slang .a person keenly interested in food, especially in eating or cooking.  -Dictionary.com

"Foodies are a distinct hobbyist group. Typical foodie interests and activities include the food industrywineries and wine tasting, breweries and beer sampling, food science, following restaurant openings and closings and occasionally reopenings, food distribution, food fadshealth and nutrition, cooking classes, culinary tourism, and restaurant management."    - Wikipedia


I hope you all participate in and enjoy the sharing of our favorite family pastimes- all things food!



Yours truly,
Christen
