Hi, my name is Justin Thorp.  Welcome to my blog “Justin Loves Food” and yes I do love food.

Food has obvious nutritional value but for me it’s SO much more than that.   For me, eating and drinking has always been a catalyst for community with family and friends.

Growing up, we’d always eat dinner together as a family.  Now when the family is together back home, we may end up sitting around the table talking for 2 or 3 hours, staying well after all the plates and food has been cleared off the table.

Now, I’m out on my own and living in Washington, DC, USA.

One of my favorite things has been learning about new cuisines, how to prepare them, and of course eat them… hopefully sharing it with others.

With this blog, I want to share my various culinary adventures, as my friends, family, and I explore both DC, the rest of the USA, and even the world.
