About the eater and the author

Hey, I’m Martin Arriaga, and I’m glad you’ve stopped by! I’m a native Washingtonian and I am passionate about sharing my unsolicited recommendations with the world. My day job is in finance but in my off hours I love spending my time exploring this beautiful evergreen state. I am a lover of music, cats, the outdoors and all things food and bev. 

Growing up, I always felt grateful to be from a beautiful state that perfectly melds urban city with lush forest. The culture this environment has created is one I have been obsessed with. Its welcoming arms have bolstered countless unique eateries and attractions. As a Mexican American I grew up with one foot in both cultures, and food was at the forefront of both. Whether it was beans and tortillas at home or a french dip at a restaurant, I always saw food as the cornerstone of what builds a culture. These days my love for food and its history have exploded to new heights. After trying hundreds if not thousands of restaurants, I wanted to share my experience with you all to help you find the best meal for your night out.
