Introductions...

So first things first.  I should introduce myself as I take my first steps into this blogging world.  I've been refraining from starting a blog for the past few years.  Not for any specific reasons other than the fact that I didn't want to start something and end up letting it die out unattended after I start because of being massively busy and also (and I won't lie) sheer laziness.  However, as of late, I'm afforded a little more time due to work life being more settled down and stable; coupled with a real urge to document my passion for dining out/in which has driven me to start this blog. 

So the question is: Who am I? 

I'm currently a PhD Student living in Cleveland in the department of medicine.  I think my biggest hobbies outside of my life in the medical research field (where research/work really is a large part of my life - even if i want it to be or not) is eating or enjoying good cuisine and working out and playing sports.  Although at first some may believe those hobbies to be contrasting; staying fit/healthy but loving to eat - at least I did for a long time, until I've been able to manage both of these passions of mine into a much more intertwining combination.  I work-out and stay fit and eat a pretty clean cut diet most of the week; where as the weekends are a different tale.  It is during the weekend when I allow myself to eat well and enjoy life.  Which brings me to the theme of this blog.

I hope to center this blog on the dining experiences I have during my weekend food vacations.  I usually set my Saturday nights as my night out to dine out at wherever interesting restaurant I can venture to.  My friends and I try and visit places all over Cleveland; but do not limit our selves to this locale.  In fact, many road trips and some vacations are themed behind the gastronomic pleasures we may achieve.

So with that introduction; I hope you'll join me and follow me around as I eat and enjoy food every Saturday!

Cheers and good day to all!
