Experience
Fletcher Huntley is a writer and translator based in New York. He worked in restaurants for several years and loves experimenting with new recipes at home. After spending two years eating his way through Latin America, he returned to the United States, where he's worked as a writer for the last three years. He's a history and geography buff and he used to manage the blog mapforum.com. When he's not bopping around the city looking for the finest fare that the Big Apple has to offer, he can be found sharpening up a comedy set at an open mic or hunched over his desk at home drawing cartoons.
