Kat Hong ( ˘ ³˘)♥
Los Angeles food writer, among other things
Hi, welcome!
My name is Kat (Katharine, for short) ♥
I write about food, restaurants, and dining culture at large. My bylines include Food & Wine, Resy, The Infatuation, Eater, and Synonym magazine.
I edit and produce podcasts, too! 😏 (Examples: 'Point of Origin' and 'Climate Cuisine' and 'The Margaret Cho' and 'The Infatuation Notcast' and 'The Curious Eater')
If you want to like, know my whole deal (how I approach food writing and my outlook on the industry): read my interview with Noodle. Or contact me!!!!
