Congratulations to Tina aka tinajean for submitting the winning review for the February Menuism Restaurant Review Contest!  Her posting about New Delhi Restaurant in San Francisco, CA was informative and in it, she claims that this restaurant has the best Chicken Tandoori she’s ever had.  To read Tina’s review, click here. To find out more about Tina and her thoughts on food, please read her bio below:

My name is Tina and I live in Los Angeles, the most eclectic food paradise in the world. First off, a little about myself. After a lifetime of loving and experimenting with food I wanted to find out if I had the ability to take it to the next level. I began formal culinary training at Le Cordon Bleu at The California School Culinary Arts in Pasadena, CA. graduating with an Associates of Occupational Studies Degree in 2007. An internship at Krust led to working briefly at Madame Chocolate in Beverly Hills and Valerie’s Confections in Silverlake, CA. I continued my “choco-cation” later in 2007 with an emphasis on chocolate work by enrolling in Downey’s Chocolate in Laguna Nigel, Ca. and completing their Chocolate and Confection Course.

I’ve been lucky to have met wonderful and creative people along the way that have opened my head to the fact that food can be tasty and artistic at the same time. I love to follow the process from farm to plate as I truly believe that people would be a lot more choosey about what they eat if they knew where it came from.
My favorite places are Pizzeria Mozza for their inspired flavor combinations, Boulevard in San Francisco for their comfortable consistency and Square One Dining to get the day off to a great start.

Thanks to Tina for sharing her experience with us and because she put her fingers to keyboard and submitted her review, Tina has won a $200 Gift Card and a Menuism T-Shirt.  If you’d like a chance to win March’s Menuism Restaurant Review Contest,  click here for more info and Good Luck to You!
