Food is the Star

Ben Seto aka The Single Guy got his start in the food blogosphere when he started “Cooking With the Single Guy” in 2006. Five years later, he’s refocused his blogging experience to showcase his love of food photography, while still going out to eat, and eat, and eat. All for his blog fans.

With Focus: Snap: Eat, Ben hopes to have his photos tell the story, with an assist now and then from his words. A resident of Oakland, Ben spotlights food he finds in his kitchen, around restaurants and shops in the San Francisco Bay Area, and from his culinary adventures when traveling.

A self-taught home cook, Ben enjoys a variety of cuisine but is influenced by his Chinese-American heritage and his childhood growing up in Honolulu. He loves lavender and hates eggplants. But isn’t afraid to try everything else in between.

NOTE: For dining reviews, Ben pays for all his eating experiences. In the rare occasion that he’s invited as a guest for dinner, he’ll make that clear (and typically in those cases won’t give his typical four-snaps rating).
