After earning a master’s degree from the Yale University School of Drama, Richman traveled the United States acting in many regional theaters. The nature of his work allowed him to feed his appetite for tasting the best local dishes across the country — all of which found their way into his food journal.
Besides having worked in nearly every echelon of the restaurant world, from coast to coast and from the counter to the kitchen, Richman has performed on stage, most recently in “Walls” at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York City, and has appeared in episodes of “Guiding Light,” “Law and Order,” “All My Children” and “Joan of Arcadia.”
