About
It Started With a Love for Good Food
James was born and raised in the Midwest – Fort Wayne, IN but now currently resides in Grapevine, TX. He grew up realizing that he had a true love for food and also a sweet tooth. Where some of his friends and family would just have normal reactions to good food, James would not only comment about his love and passion for the food but would also quickly finish the delightful dishes, much faster than his peers.
There were some very unhealthy times in James’ past when his parents had him on a very strict healthy diet that he would sneak out with his friend to the local club house at the nearby golf course and load up on sugar through soda and candy.
He realized pretty quickly that he might have a real addiction to not only sweets but also amazing food such as pizza, a good burger (with extra bacon and cheese please), and any Chinese Buffett, where him and his dad would pig out and eat as much as they could.
This passion of trying new foods and restaurants and seeing the reaction of friends and family enjoy him eating, sparked a joke about creating a food vlog. That’s when, after some thought and encouragement from his loved ones, he decided to start “James Eats Good Food.”
Later on in life, James got married and learned the importance of eating healthier while still enjoying a few cheat meals here and there. He currently tries to find a good balance of cooking at home, eating a healthy salad, and finding a new meal to cook with his wife, Sarah. Then, of course, his favorite – eating out at new restaurants and his local favorites.
James gives ratings for each restaurant on a scale of 1 – 5 forks. 5 forks meaning the restaurant is 5 stars and he loves it!
