Gastrolust

About Jay

Jay Friedman is a freelance food writer and gastronaut—willing to travel the world for what he wants to eat. His work has been featured in publications like USA Today, Lucky Peach (RIP), Eater, and Serious Eats, to name a few. He’s been hailed as “Seattle’s authoritative voice on Asian cuisine, and this website aggregates some of his writing about Asian restaurants from Seattle to Chengdu. But Gastrolust is much more, from burgers in Seattle to dining/travel guides throughout Washington state, the United States, and beyond. (Note: Jay is on writing hiatus during the pandemic.)
