About Kim Nguyen
Kim Nguyen is a law student (soon to be lawyer . . . hopefully) and a native Washingtonian. She has never lived anywhere else, except Italy, where she studied abroad, drank wine, developed a very refined palate, and loaded up on carbs. She loves just about everything involving food – eating it, smelling it, watching documentaries about it – except making it. She keeps a food diary of all the places she eats in D.C., so if anyone's ever over in this neck of the woods, she's happy to offer advice!There are 62 posts by Kim Nguyen
