Chris Dudley

Assistant Editor

Chris Dudley grew up in the rural South and hated every minute of it. After two semi-successful stints in college, he spent the next several years disappointing his parents by struggling as a poet. Tired of living off of ramen noodles and TV dinners, Dudley decided to sell out, move to New York, enroll in culinary school, and chase the big bucks as a food writer. His ultimate goal is to one day find a box of money.
