A new author!!

I am delighted to announce that Greg "The Scrapple King" has joined the Adventures in Food family. Greg grew up in beautiful and historic Philadelphia. He is therefore a connoisseur of pretzels, cheesesteaks, and he knows that the only snack cake worth eating is a TastyKake. As his epithet implies, his greatest area of expertise is the world of products that are derived from hog offal and other such manly foods. He is a self-described "rather picky eater", but will try most anything once.
Greg's eating and writing credentials eminently qualify him for culinary commentary. He combines a love of food with a career as a published author and playwright. He once ate between 27 and 32 pieces of sushi (neither of us can remember which) and has been threatened at knifepoint by sushi chefs. Buffets tremble when he enters. He and Christine at our office first introduced me to sushi, and for that I owe them a lifetime of gratitude. His food goals include a continuous feast at a Chinese buffet from opening until closing.
He is also the acknowledged donut king of Senate District 11, which is a feat that will be covered in a later story.
