Welcome to RollinJoint

This newsletter is where I try to understand the world through food — restaurants, recipes, and travel. It’s my way of learning how people live and what shapes the things we eat.

If you know me from RollinJoint, you already know I spend most of my time with small, independent restaurants. They don’t have PR budgets, and I don’t take money from them unless it’s clearly stated. Bigger brands help cover the gaps so the independents never have to.

Here’s the blunt truth:
I can’t keep this going without your support.
There’s no team, no funding, no backup plan. It’s just me doing the work, and it continues only if readers choose to back it.

Paid members get full reviews, maps, and the archive, and as a way of showing my appreciation, I am working with places that I featured to give member-only promotions and discounts and brands I trust.

If my work has been useful to you, becoming a member is what allows me to keep doing it.
