"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" Alice asked.
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don’t much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesn’t matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"--- so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you’re sure to do that," said The Cat.

My Motto: LIFE IS SEXY. Live it well.™
Food + Wine | Arts + Entertainment | Film + Travel | Philanthropy + Visionaries
ATOD Magazine and ATOD+ are the organic product of my deep desire to promote rare and unique talent in every pool of creativity. Through creative publicity and truly specific consulting, the goal is that chefs, restaurants, winemakers, artists, and everyone in between continue to thrive.
HOW IT STARTED
In childhood, we grow up eating a plethora of things. Food becomes a means to getting the "ok" to play or run free with friends or the remedy for not "growing fast enough". Eating out when we were kids was an absolute TREAT! We would get so excited if we knew we were going to a restaurant. Something about knowing we could order whatever we wanted seemed like Christmas come early.
As we get older, "Eating Out" takes on an entirely different meaning. Food becomes our escape, a memory made or shared with friends and people we love, it becomes the catalyst in an important business meeting, or even the excuse we need to have a little abandon. However I believe there is still a kid within us all. The little voice that sees a menu and secretly gets excited that the possibilities are endless and our saving grace is, we actually know what's good. Eating out is simply life's way of presenting us with yet another reason to engage our senses.
Much like the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, food really is taking us on an extraordinary adventure. "A Taste of Dawn" began because I sat down to write the story of a dinner I had. The smells, the sounds, the feeling I got when the food hit my lips and my taste buds were aroused; the entire process was worth interpreting. I realized then that story has always played a rather significant role in my dining experiences. In essence, eating out has become the catalyst behind many endearing adventures.
HOW IT EVOLVED
As a natural consequence, my love of art, photography, film, philanthropy, and travel becaome at the forefront of this adventure. No longer is the focus just on food and wine, it has transformed to also be about Lifestyle as a whole.
ATOD Magazine is simply my invitation to you to pick up that little piece of "Wondrous" fare and take a bite. See what happens. See what adventure awaits your imagination... And then - play.
Alas food evolved into exploring my love and passion for art, artists, film, filmmakers, and telling the story of the many phenomenal human beings I have the pleasure of meeting. Every person, at some point in our lives is an unknown but their gift can be so exquisite it can open up our eyes to an entirely new kind of living. ATOD Magazine is precisely that.
Here is to SAVORING LIFE in every possible way!!
