Editor

Mike was born to eat and drink, so it's lucky he's editor of Foodism. Loves vintage champagne, pinot noir Caribbean rum, tasting menus, Neapolitan pizza. Hates... come back to him. In what little other free time he has, he withstands being routinely disappointed at the home of his beloved Tottenham Hotspur FC.
