About
Hey there. Welcome to feastcraft. My name is Jonas and I’ll be your host.
Feastcraft isn’t about food. It’s not about cooking. It’s simply (because I am a simple man and couldn’t, even if I tried, come up with better content) about being a cook. A professional one. I spend my days with fire, steel, and blood. I cook things and give them to people who eat them.
You won’t find gushing reviews of other restaurants here. I rarely eat out. People like me, the people who make your Michelin starred food, can’t afford to eat it. You won’t find many recipes, either. I hate recipes. They’re restrictive little mustachioed dictators, marching in lockstep, trying to prevent people from learning how to cook. And you won’t find glossy food pictures here, either. If anything you’ll get cellphone quality pictures of food as it moves from the line to the expo window, ready to be eaten.
I rant. A lot.
You can find those rants on Quora, here, or on f8t.me, my pictures/clippings/tumblr thingie. And on G+.
Enough with the site spam already? That’s cool. Forget all about them and follow me on Twitter. All the cool kids do it and you’ll get a best of version of all the stuff I write. Plus witty tweets from work.
About me
I am, a friend recently remarked, a [culi|merce]nary. In short this means I am hired to sit in as chef, cook, or to help bring a restaurant back on track. I am not looking for work. Please keep that in mind, recruitment messages will be discarded. I spent my misbegotten youth cooking between a lengthy and futile search for the meaning of life and my purpose in the world, spent seven years as a coder and community manager in dot.com and returned to cooking in 2007.

My Words
Everything I write on feastcraft is my personal opinion. It should go without saying that neither my employer, current, future, or former, nor anyone else shares it. If you want to boycott someone, say over my unabashed use of animal products, boycott feastcraft. Coming to my place of employment to protest might get you laughed at.
Contact
Really, the easiest way to contact me is either via Google+ or Twitter (@feastcraft). I will get those faster and more reliably than phone or email. I am at work most of the time, after all.
