Culinary Chick, otherwise known as Eb (and often, E.B.) is a native Californian. After spending three years in Maryland during a stint by her Navy Doctor husband, she returned to So. Cal but her heart remained on the East Coast, where she hopes to return soon.  A 30-something mother of two, Eb is also the 2008 Food Network’s Ultimate Recipe Showdown:Chicken  winner for her Battered Chicken Wings and Pomegranate Barbeque Sauce (her winning entry has gotten raves and 5 out of 5 stars from everyone who has tried the recipe).

Eb loves cooking, baking and coming up with ways to take common foods one step further. She’s a political junkie and watches more movies every year than most members of the Academy. She also loves to write, and combines those interests by blogging about popular culture, politics and her culinary pursuits – including the little-known (but apparently cut-throat!) world of food contesting.  Like the other Chicks, she reserves the right to write about anything that piques her interest. And she gets piqued a lot.
