A native Montrealer, Joseph Mallozzi left la belle province (and mom’s Italian home cooking) in 2000 and headed west. Since then, he and his wife have spent an inordinate amount of time checking out the Vancouver restaurant scene, honing their chocolate-tasting skills, and collecting pugs (three and counting). When he’s not eating, snapping pics of what he’s about to eat, or offering detailed accounts of what he has just eaten, Joseph Mallozzi spends his off-hours writing and producing for television. He keeps a foodblog here.
