Who Is Metrocurean?

Washington, D.C.-based food writer Amanda McClements has trailed celebrity chefs through Iceland, picked buckshot out of quail on a South Carolina farm, and dined on tripe, tongue and crickets, all in the pursuit of good food. A native North Carolinian who counts herself in the "eastern" barbecue camp, she has cultivated her love of all things culinary by reviewing restaurants and reporting on the hottest food news and trends.

Her work has appeared in Food & Wine, ForbesTraveler.com, The Washington Post, Washingtonian, DC Modern Luxury and Roll Call, among others. To read more of her work, check out recent clips here.
