Hello Steemians! My name is Nena and I am, true to my title, a food addict!

Some of you may think I'm joking, and others of you may completely understand, when I say

Amazing food is almost like an orgasm for your taste buds.
🙏


(The above is not my gif... it's from here)

In my opinion, if you haven't had food that makes you do a food dance or say OMG, you're fooding wrong.


So, how did I become addicted to food?


Well, I have always loved food. 😍 I remember watching Martha Stewart when I was five years old. When the show was done, I ran into the other room and told my godparents we had to go to the store because I wanted to buy lambchops to cook... and guess what! To this day, I still use the recipe I created twenty-five years ago!

However, while I cook for fun, I eat out like it’s my job.


I am always trying new places in search of the best food.
So, if you have any recommendations, please comment below.

I created an Instagram page FoodAddictLA to document my food adventures.

I post photos of dishes I’ve made, as well as things I’ve tried at restaurants. Currently, most of the photos are from restaurants in Los Angeles, but this is slowly changing the more I travel. Last year included Korea and Australia. This year will include Japan. The coming years? Well, I gues you’ll have to stay tuned to find out!


So why am I on Steemit?

Well, I wanted to start a food and travel blog and this one

👆 ( @timcason , the good looking man in the photo above) recommended I get on steemit and share my foodie-ventures with like-minded people (like you).

So, here I am!

Welcome to Steemit! I'm kinda jealous, Yayoi Kusama is one of my favorite artists lol I'd love to see one of her installations one day! I love how she's always talking abut the concept on Infinity, that's a theme in my art too :)

Thank you for welcoming me @adammillwardart !
I have been obsessed with Yayoi Kusama since one of her infinity mirror exhibits first came to The Broad Museum a couple years ago.
I had the privileged of going to a Yayoi Kusama inspired dinner at Otium which included and after hours visit to The Broad for her expanded installations. I believe there were 7 installations in all. I included one of the photos that I took above. I will have to post the rest for you!

Awesome, one day I want to add one of her pumpkins to my art collection if I can :)

Those pumpkins are gorgeous!
I'm fortunate enough to have been able to take a photo of them, but I heard someone damaged one, possibly while trying to take a selfie, so they stopped letting people take photos of them after that.
