Me: I love restaurants. So much that I abandoned my six-year career in entertainment journalism — for a new, tastier dream. I tiptoed into LA’s food-writing world — and I ate everywhere, everything — quietly making restauranteur-ing my own personal study. Now, call me a “retired food writer.” Because today, I’m running a Peruvian cantina. And I’d like to think that my enrollment in wine school helped.

I live in Venice, Calif., and I’m still a writer. Follow me on Twitter: @lientigre
