Dave Lee is the writer behind Feastio, a food blog aimed to take you inside the world's best restaurants to help anyone create unforgettable moments. While growing up, Dave was a picky eater but after being exposed to Anthony Bourdain's influence, Dave opened his mind to challenge his palate.

As he began to travel after graduating college, Dave stepped out of his comfort zone and into unforgettable moments. After creating his first blog, Go Backpacking, Dave wanted to share his love for food as well, thus Feastio was born. As his adventures grew, so did his audience creating a vast resource revolving around amazing meals.
