The problem
I wanted to know if I could build a curated product site in the style of Uncrate, Cool Hunting, or Curated Supply: the clean, editorial kind where every pick feels chosen rather than scraped. The answer was the project.
About
Spent years in restaurants and bars learning what tools actually hold up. I write about the things I use: kitchen gear, pantry staples, travel essentials. Honest takes on products that work.
Started as a way to remember what I found on the road. Turned into a catalog of things people actually ask me about.
Key decisions
Let it wind down
Wandering Bacon proved I could build the site I had in mind, and then my other products earned the time instead. Curated content needs constant upkeep I can't give it, so it'll likely be retired. Not every project deserves indefinite life support, and saying so out loud is part of running a portfolio.
