Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn is EXPANDING!

Food writer PAUL LESCHEN is coming on board to write about Brooklyn restaurants and food. And he’s the man to do it. Paul knows Brooklyn and he knows food. What more could you wish for?

Brooklynites love their food and restaurants. I realized pretty early on that I had to find a writer to cover the bodacious Brooklyn restaurant scene. Afterall, what would a Brooklyn blog be without FOOD? I was really lucky when Paul responded to my call-out for a foodie who writes.

We met for the first time at Cafe Regular on 11th Street off Fifth Avenue, where we both ordered fresh squeezed orange juice. We hit it off immediately and talked for an hour or more.

Paul brought along a shopping bag full of smart, funny clippings that he wrote for the New York Press about food and restaurants. He left New York in 2001 and moved to Oregon where he wrote about food for the Portland Mercury. Quite the renaissance man, he is also a pianist and composer who has worked with the Scissor Sisters and Hedda Lettuce. After a stint in Durham North Carolina, Brooklyn beckoned and Paul is back in the borough of Juniors cheese cake. He is  ready and raring to go as OTBKB’s very own food writer.

On Wednesday June 8th, Paul  will debut ONLY THE BLOG KNOWS BROOKLYN RESTAURANTS!
