The pages you have bookmarked in your browser say a lot about who you are. I made that discovery one day while I was still a law student. I was browsing the internet in the law library, procrastinating from doing real studying, no doubt, when I noticed that all of my bookmarked pages were either food-related or law-related websites. In the drop-down menu of my bookmarks, I had a sub-folder for recipes that I wanted to try and food blogs that I frequented. In another folder, I had links to statutes, the US Constitution, and legal reference tools. It was then when I realized the two things that I think about the most in my life: food and the law.
"Food Judicata" is a play on words with the legal term, "res judicata" meaning "a matter [already] judged." When I began this blog as a law student in September 2008, I came up with the title as a way to combine the two things I think about most. Now that I am an attorney, I have come to realize how apt the title really is. Every time we eat, go to a new restaurant, or cook a meal, we are making judgments about the food, its flavor, smells, presentation, and how it makes us feel. This is a blog about my judgments on the food I eat. It is mostly about the food I prepare myself, since I am my own (and potentially harshest) judge. I also enjoy traveling and will make judgments on the food that I eat in other cities. It should be noted that I am never compensated for the reviews I make. I choose the places where I eat while I travel mostly through word of mouth, food blogs, and other internet reviews, so I am always happy to hear suggestions and feedback.
