What’s a Gourmetro?

A gourmetro is a young, urbanite (or an urbane youth) who loves food but can hardly afford what most people consider the good stuff. The Gourmetro is all about sleuthing out the best deals, from mouthwatering $2 meals to restaurant meals worth every penny. You will notice we have a few authors. Some like to travel, some bake and the rest are dabblers.

Who are they?

Skip

Skip recently moved to Birmingham, Alabama from New York City, where he worked as a food writer and mac specialist. A big change? Yes. You’d think there would be fewer panhandlers and more grits. There seem to be as many panhandlers, and a whole lot of grits. He now works for a lifestyle magazine.

He and Joanie dreamed up The Gourmetro in the winter of 2006 and since then we’ve filled your minds (and stomachs) with amazing, frequently inexpensive delights.
