Hello!
My name is GK and I am the proud owner of this small corner of the Interwebs.
This blog was something my Husband (I will lovingly refer to him as LK) thought of when we would go out to eat and leave with a restaurant matchbook or two.
I have been a foodie for as long as I can remember. Weekends in high school were spent throwing "dinner parties" for my friends and family, and vacation destinations are often chosen based on the food scene (the most recent example of this was our two week honeymoon to Thailand last month). LK has been the guinea pig for many of my food experiments, both good and bad, and he knows that I am the Food and Beverage Director for our little family.
Where does the matchbook part come in? I like to collect things and have had different collections of items over time. When I was young it was international coins and Beanie Babies, in my early 20s during my vintage and antique phase, it was tooled leather bags. Now that I have money to spend on restaurants, and less square footage in our Brooklyn apartment, it is matchbooks! Not only are they really beautiful, and useful, but it is the best way for me to remember a great meal with loved ones.
I have seen Instagram accounts where people showcase their matchbooks. I look to them for restaurant ideas, but I think I am a little too old school for Instagram. I have loved blogging for 10 years now so when LK suggested a matchbook blog, it was perfect!
This blog will be about matchbooks I get while dining, trading, and receiving from friends who know about my hobby. Enjoy!
-GK
