Food and Travel Jay Friedman, gastronaut, is one of the most intriguing and innovative food and travel writers in Seattle. You may know him from Seattle Weekly’s "Sexy Feast" column (Jay is a unique combination of food writer and professional sex educator) or City Arts’ “Dish-Off," in which he challenged chefs to create meals based on songs. (Jay is also a former disc jockey!) He is also a regular contributor to the national Serious Eats blog, and is the co-editor/author of the Fearless Critic Seattle restaurant guide. Jay travels extensively and shares his hedonistic adventures in occasional “Passport to Pleasure” pieces. When not eating out or writing about it, he is most likely in the kitchen making biang-biang noodles, bibimbap, or anything with offal. You can find most of Jay’s writing at his personal blog, Gastrolust. View all posts by Jay Friedman
