Justin Eats is a food, dining and travel blog, as well as the foodly alter ego of me, published freelance writer and former Phoenix Magazine dining critic, Justin Lee. Based in Phoenix, AZ, I’m also a marketing director, hospitality industry veteran, photographer, and imperfect home cook pulled by experiences that taste good. Besides a brief and embarrassingly unsuccessful academic stint in New York City back in 2002, and extensive travels since, I’ve spent the majority of my life in the Phoenix area. It is an outpost I wholeheartedly love and loathe with equal bias.
My freelance writing and partnership efforts, featured in:
Phoenix Magazine (dining critic 2014-2015), Modern Luxury Scottsdale, JAVA Magazine, Bite Magazine, Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine, Phaidon Press, Downtown Phoenix Journal, Time Inc.’s Extra Crispy, and 944 Magazine.
This blog exists as the continued convergence of my adult life’s background and primary passions: writing, travel, and food. It’s really nice to meet you.
