I like a lot of other things too but sandwiches are pretty great
Crit (27)I'm a mother of two boys. I work selling organic produce to gullible locals, and in my spare time I run as far as I can. Oh, and I live in Australia, married to a US citizen.

Brian (7)I'm a tax guy and technical writer living in the city known to its locals as The Big 'Ago. I self-identify as a fighter against culinary dogma, a sandwich lover, and an overly-earnest hot dog enthusiast.

A background in American cultural history and food studies makes me approach the world with a desire for contextualization and connection on the way to synthesis.
Thom (1)I'm a seafood-obsessed environmental scientist from North Carolina currently enduring the pain of living in a landlocked state. I spend most of my free time thinking about baseball, history, Shaw Bros. movies and weird synthesizer music.
Marinus (1)A South African now living in Australia, after 12 years in New Zealand and 4 in Ireland. Has worked as an academic researcher for the past decade, which is only slightly less time than it took him to fulfil his promise of writing an entry for the blog.
