Though this has probably been obvious for quite some time, it's only just been made blatantly clear to me that I am, in fact, a food geek. What clued me in, you might ask?
Exhibit A:
I recently donned pigtails and a gas station work shirt emblazoned with a name tag reading CARL, got on a ferry one early Saturday morning, and spent the day slinging pork for the Pig Island Event on Governor's Island, at the Grill-A-Chef booth.
If foodies attend such events, food GEEKS volunteer for them.It was a blast.
Read more about it (and get the recipe) here.
Exhibit B:
The other morning, on a crowded subway platform on 168th Street, elbowing my way into the elevator up to street level, trying not to spill my coffee or drop my umbrella, I actually shrieked when, while listening to a podcast of the Sporkful, I heard the host mention my name and QUOTE me!If a food nerd listens to a podcast called the SPORKFUL, then a food dork writes in to said podcast, and a food GEEK gets overly excited and texts everyone she knows.
I can't even touch the fact that the episode was about oatmeal and my comment was an impassioned vote for a savory breakfast version you see above. I don't even know what to call a person who does that.
Listen to it here! Or download the Sporkful podcast here! (I'm right towards the end. You can call me The Closer.)

I despise oatmeal usually. Too many attempts by grandma trying to force it on me as part of our morning ritual. However, a savory version seems oddly tempting.
i will absolutely listen to the podcast but not without another story first.
Call me.
Lovingly,

Seriously, I am so proud.
We always have oatmeal everyday during the morning when I was young. And it was kind of boring.
