From Naïve to Native in Madrid
Scott Figatner writes restaurant reviews, food features and recipes for the The GW Hatchet where he studies English, journalism, and communication while working as a chef’s assistant for the university’s president.
Garnering culinary skills during his employment at Kinkead’s, The Roosevelt Waldorf Astoria New Orleans, Citronelle and by cooking at home, Scott maintains a cooking blog called The Diary of My Stomach. He aims to entice the taste buds of others and elevate their perceptions of food to that which is an art form.
Now Scott changes his environment from DC to Madrid as he follows his stomach and journey's through the culture and countryside seeking all that Spain has to offer.
