Eat Your Heart Out

For those that know me well, they know that food is the way to my heart. So much so that it affects my mood and, if I’m being honest, dictates my daily plans. I’ve planned day trips around where I’ll be eating and if I’m hungry while trying to function in any capacity—well, I just can’t. Of course meal planning is part of this internal banter, and it’s always eased when there’s a food plan in place or I’ve been fed. Perhaps I just diagnosed myself with food anxiety.

I think many of us can identify. The foodies at heart certainly can. Although I love food, I wouldn’t describe myself as a foodie. A foodie is someone who can taste every ingredient without being told anything about a dish. They can also tell you with eloquence how to pair wine and beer with food. Moreover, their taste in beverages is also well formed, and they’re either a wine or beer connoisseur or a cocktail mixologist.

This issue honors all food lovers, whether you’re a foodie or a food fan. We turned to local wine sommelier Carrie Lyn Strong to tell us some delicious wine and food pairings available at local restaurants; read about that on page 25. Have a sweet tooth? Flip to page 30 for the best desserts in the area. To round it all out for at home dining, check out Shop in Style for functional and chic table setting pieces.

We hope this issue fills not only your cup, but also your desire to support local delicious cuisine, at restaurants to dine out and markets to dine at home.

Here’s to good eats, treats, and sips for happy hearts!
