Eat. Drink. Write. Repeat.

We are rapidly expanding and looking to add another member to our tech team (preferably one who is up for the occasional baseball game or tasting event)! We are the third largest food property and the largest community of food bloggers. We're a top 50 Rails site and are looking for a few stars to help take us to the next level!
