Hello, I’m Justin

I’m a culinary school grad and former professional cook who firmly believes that food, and thinking about food, should not be a full-time job.

Bricks & Mortar Food is for adults over 40 who want to make better food decisions, feel better and support their long-term health, without logging every calorie, tracking every macro and feeling like you are starting over every Monday.

For years, I struggled to find a balance with food. From strict calorie counting and portions to binge eating, I never felt that I had a consistent handle on my eating.

One day, while traveling for work, I realized that my struggle was in my decision making around food, especially when I didn’t have ideal circumstances.

That became the foundation of Bricks & Mortar Food.

• Build a satisfying plate.

• Bend without breaking.

• Return to normal.

And, when it comes to the food itself, I keep it simple.

Protein. Vegetable. Sauce.

Today, I use my culinary experience to help making eating more practical, satisfying and sustainable in real life.

Because a good way of eating shouldn’t only work on your best days.

Coffee. Pizza. Bourbon. (Still not always in that order)
