BUEN PROVECHO.

My name is Stephen Lang and I am an Industrial Engineer currently working in the Healthcare Industry. My passion is for food and wine, so I consider myself a foodie with a respectable palate.

My intent of this blog is not to critique food, since I am not a trained chef. Rather I will document what I eat in the form of pictures and descriptions. However, I will rank restaurants in order of total experience (food, wine, atmosphere) as well as in order by city.
