Founder of GreatGrub. He is a reformed theatre director (mostly) who after years on the road traveling from one theatre to the next came to appreciate the value of a simple family meal. His passion for food began at his mother’s apron strings and took off at the age of nine when he discovered that he could create his own chocolate chip cookies.
As his theatre career progressed, he had less time for cooking and enjoying a simple meal. Marriage, however, dragged him kicking and screaming to Los Angeles where his interest in cooking remerged. Andrew is a self taught cook who values the art of exploration. His goal in creating GreatGrub was to demystify the kitchen and encourage people to take the time to sit around the table and tell the family story which begins with “Today I did…” The process of discovery continues.
He is always learning and experimenting. He loves to cook with his family and friends. He continues to learn by observing others and relishes the time that they spend sitting around the table.
I am a free-range, organically grown, culinary trained, and self-sustaining artist/foodie. My undying child-like curiosity has led me down many paths. But, of all the paths, the one to the table has always brought me joy.
Whether eating in an elegant restaurant, sharing food with friends, or eating food prepared by the first-time cook, I will always appreciate the true effort from farm to table as long as it is served with a heaping side of love and friendship.
