How did this all get started?

I have long since had a passion for food and was looking for a new and clever way to start sharing it.  Shortly before COVID struck and many places were closed in Minnesota, I was talking to a friend about the concept.  He would always jokingly say "Speaking as a totally straight dude" whenever he was unsure if his comment would come off as "same sex" or not.  I was telling him about this concept and he said "Call it 'As a Gay Dude Food'".  Some workshopping later and Gay Dude Food was born.

During the COVID days I did a lot of cooking and posting.  When I could I would share with my friends.  What started as an errand blog and a Facebook group (check out the link below) has now turned into a passion for cooking and this website.

How does all this fit into LGBTQ you might be wondering, really the only "fit" is am a Gay and have a passion for LGBTQ rights.  Only this adventure you will notice that my food is of all sorts of types.  It usually is what I have a hunger for that I then turn into a dish, or as I have mentioned, follow along with friend Stephanie Hansen.
