Robyn MacLean
PR professional turned food writer, Robyn is passionate about Asian cuisine, but can’t hold chopsticks the “proper” way to save her life (she blames it on being a lefty). When life allows it, she wanders the world primarily searching for food experiences, and believes that in order to truly discover the heart and soul of a destination’s food culture, you head straight for the street food. Although her heart belongs to Calgary, she is currently living in Houston, TX, sweating profusely and eating copious amounts of BBQ and Tex-Mex with her husband and two miniature humans.
