My wife and I like to throw dinner parties, and our friends are more-than willing guinea pigs for our various cooking experiments, so I started inuyaki.com to keep track of some of my favorite recipes and make it easier to share them with everyone.
Inuyaki.com also features reviews of the restaurants we’ve visited, most of which also appear in some form at Yelp.com. I didn’t think much of my Yelp reviews when I started writing them in August 2006, but as time passed, I found it to be a worthwhile creative outlet, allowing me to write for pleasure instead of just for work. It also introduced me to a lot of new places to eat, and I met a lot of like-minded people who share the same passion for food.
If you’re curious, inuyaki literally means “grilled dog,” which is funny to me since my people do have a history of dog eating. I’ve never actually eaten dog, but the name popped into my head one day, and I thought it would be a funny name for a food blog. My wife is a graphic designer, and she designed the logo for the Web site.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find this site useful and fun.
