About

I’m not a foodie, I just like to eat.

This blog consists of iPhone pics chronicling what I love most – EATING! I started taking photos of my food around July 2011 and shortly started a blog thereafter. I eventually included pics of the respective cities just for fun.

I wouldn’t consider Vittle Monster a traditional “food blog” but more of a “food journal”. I’m not a food/restaurant critic; I just enjoy eating out with great company and having amazing food. This blog helps me to recount some of my favorite eating experiences (and most of the bad ones, hehe).

I’m also not a professional photographer but I do what I can with my worn iPhone. None of the pics are digitally enhanced or edited, hence a lot of dark and blurry shots but I also refuse to use a flash in dark restaurants (I have personal limits, lol). Please respect my ownership of all the content on this blog, and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Enjoy!

  I honestly don’t have a “favorite” food since I love trying new things. What I do have are “favorite” meals! I’m a firm believer that the company and/or surroundings/circumstances can truly elevate a meal to the point of vivid recollection.

Thanks so much for your visit to The Nutrition Doctor in In the Kitchen! I appreciate it! I enjoy taking photos not only of my own food but also when I’m out, though it can get tiresome (for those with me, the waiters, and so forth). Normally I don’t post a link to my blog& now I can’t remember if I provided this link to Eat It, Don’t Tweet It for you in the past. I *think* I gave it to you, but in case not, here it is: absolutely worth viewing! (video by American Hipster, not me!) Cheers, PKN
