We’re Monte Mathews and Andrew Phillips. We started Chewing The Fat because food and travel have always given us plenty to talk about—and even more to share.
I’m a food, wine and travel writer, curious about the people, places and histories behind what we eat. Andrew is a gifted home baker. His cakes, tarts and other desserts are as much a part of this table as the savory dishes and journeys you’ll find here.
Alongside Chewing The Fat, I write about cruise travel for CruiseNews and Cruising Journal. At home and away, we’re looking for recipes we want to make again, delicious discoveries, and the stories that make a meal memorable.
