 For Jay Pizarro and Susie Timm, food was always more than just a source
of nutrition. They discovered early on that food had the ability to
bring people together and create life-long memories. Whether it was
dining out with friends and family, turning vacations into culinary
adventures, or experimenting in the kitchen, some of their most joyous
experiences involved food.
They found nearly everyone they crossed paths with had some degree of
the “foodie” spirit, but many didn’t realize they too could create
these same experiences regardless of their budget. The duo was
determined to show them otherwise, so with a dash of creativity, a
pinch of inspiration and a heap of passion, Foodies Like Us was born.
Cooking up a passion
Jay has been exposed to different culinary cultures almost since birth.
One of his earliest childhood memories involves eating fresh blue crab
at his great aunt’s house in Puerto Rico. At just four-years-old, while
learning to catch and cook the crab, then prepare it with
garlic-infused olive oil, he discovered the joy of food.
For Susie, it was the weekly trips to eclectic neighborhood eateries
with her parents that developed her palate and desire for exotic
flavors. As she got older her passion developed into learning how to
infuse those flavors into her own cooking.
When they realized they were spending a majority of their free time
snapping photos of food, consuming culinary magazines and cookbooks,
and trying to satisfy their appetite for different food adventures,
they knew they couldn’t be the only ones. Their drive behind Foodies
Like Us is to unite like-minded foodies in a continual celebration of
food and uncover all of the culinary treasures in the community, making
them accessible to everyone.
We look forward to meeting you!
Bon Appétit!
¡Salud!
Cheers!
