Emily believes that life’s greatest simple pleasure is eating a good meal. That’s why she takes the pursuit of Seattle’s flakiest almond crossaint, freshest sushi, and most Neapolitan margherita pizza so seriously. She also loves exploring new corners of the world and her native Washington state. When she’s not eating, on the road, or eating on the road, she’s writing about food and travel for companies like The Infatuation and Booking.com.
