Hey Pilgrims!
So you probably clicked on that little tab right up there to
learn more about me so here we go. I was born and raised in Florida, went to
college at FSU got my BA in Psychology and Aging studies. From there, I went to
New York to attend grad school at Columbia University, and eventually earned my
MA in Counseling Psychology. I realized that seeing patients wasn’t really my
thing (one might say that I’m a little too impatient) so after a miserable
first year of grad school I started Grilled Cheese Social as an attempt to
share ridiculous stories and tasty recipes. Breaking away from that sterile,
overly dry writing style was so much fun that I decided I should probably do
that with my life. So, yeah, here I am.
And like most New Yorkers my age, I’m working my booty off
at a few different jobs trying to make rent each month and living on the cusp of Williamsburg and Bushwick in Brooklyn. Beyond being the gal behind Grilled Cheese Social, I
work as a cheesemonger and at a small little specialty shop in Williamsburg,
called Depanneur, where I handle their PR and also create, write, and
photograph for their website and soon-to-be specialty food e–commerce site
(quick! Go look, you might be missing a deal!). I’m also a freelance
photographer, writer, and html rockstar for Saveur Magazine’s website and do a
ton of other freelance work for other food-related sites. You can find my past
work on Saveur.com, Canada’s National Post, The Tampa Tribune, Salty Lake City Tribune,
ModCloth.com, Apartment Therapy, Wisconsin Cheese Talk, and
Tillamook’s Love Life Blog and probably a few other sites that I’ve forgot to
mention.
Beyond being cheesy, and yes, that pun was intended, I love
exploring my neighborhood and blowing my money on delicious food, indulging in
weekly Sunday Fundays, and going to some rad shows of the musical and comedic
variety. You can find me staring at food for hours at the market, tripping down
the stairs all around town, downing drinks somewhere off the L train, and petting
strangers’ dogs.
And if that wasn’t enough for ya, then you can always email
me at GrilledCheeseSocial@gmail.com
for any more questions…or if you’d like to inquire about freelance work or
maybe even a nice little cheese plate for that party next weekend, then yeah,
holler at me...Anyways, thanks for taking your time to read all this ‘ish about
me, you da bomb.
Xoxo,
GCS aka MacKenzie Smith


That's a long list of duties. I'm almost surprised they didn't ask you to handle their storage and logistics as well.
