Growing up, my family's favorite way to spend time was over food. Whether we were gathered around our big, round wooden table or driving two hours to try what my dad swore was the "best new restaurant," there was never a shortage of great meals or lively conversation. Food, for us, was more than just sustenance—it was an experience. And it was always a shared one.

When I graduated college and entered the "real world," I quickly realized I needed hobbies. I've always had a passion for food, so I decided to channel that energy into something creative. Enter @Kennymucks—an Instagram account I created to showcase what I hoped would be a newfound talent for cooking.

But, I soon discovered that my true love wasn't cooking—it was going out to eat (much to my wallet's dismay). The thrill of finding a new restaurant, trying unique dishes, and soaking in the atmosphere became an addiction. I'm hooked! Shoutout to Beli for supporting this obsession…

Over the past two years, I've spent countless weekends exploring Boston's best eats and the surrounding New England towns. When I travel- whether down south to Austin or just over to New York, my appetite for new dining experiences has only grown.

So, I've decided to take you along for the ride. Consider this blog post (and future ones!) my food diary—filled with stories of the best bites, hidden gems, and unforgettable restaurant experiences I've had. Consider it some inspiration for your Beli list!

Follow along on @kennymucks. I'll be sharing some glimpses of where my stomach takes me next…
