Keren Brown

Fueled by insatiable curiosity to uncover every food-related spot

and meet every foodie in Seattle, Keren Brown began by enrolling

in cooking classes. She would spend mornings in class, afternoons

scouring the shelves of the city’s cookware shops and specialty grocers

or judging food contests, evenings in restaurants, all the while

chronicling her journey on her blog, FranticFoodie .com.

Driven by relentless energy, she created the Seattle Food

Blogger Events—monthly meet-ups for local food bloggers—and

launched a series of networking and educational events, known

as Foodportunity, for the entire Seattle food community, bringing

together writers, culinary industry professionals, restaurateurs, food

companies and food-passionate people. In addition to her own blog

she writes for SeattlePi .com and MyNorthwest .com. Keren Brown

was named “Doer of the Week” by MarthaStewart .com and featured

in the Puget Sound Business Journal and Portland Business Journal. Keren Brown is the author of “The Food Lovers’ Guide to Seattle” (Globe Pequot Press), a guide to all the best restaurants, bakeries and specialty shops in Seattle.
