  • Kerry has traveled extensively around the world (nearly 30 countries) and enjoys trying local unique cuisines everywhere she goes to better understand the culture and the people who live there.
  • She has written countless restaurant reviews and has eaten at hundreds of restaurants, from the holes in the wall to fine dining, while living in New York City for the past five years.
  • She's lived in many regions of the United States and has enjoyed trying everything from Missouri's famous toasted ravioli to Maine's best lobster rolls, to the most delicious New York bagels (everything is the best flavor), to Colorado's strange Rocky Mountain Oyster delicacy.
