Back on the Planet!
Well it’s been another long absence for us foodies, but for a good reason: we’ve moved to South Bend, Indiana. Byron is starting the MBA program at Notre Dame in about a month, and we’re settling into a great little house here. While the foodie scene isn’t quite as large in South Bend as it [...]
Short Absence & A New Foodie

Welcome to The Foodie Forkful!
Hello and welcome! We are Byron and Elise Kern, two foodies looking for a productive hobby. We love to cook, and we love to share food knowledge. And we both have work experience in the food industry (Whole Foods Market, Kraft Foods, and various crappy restaurant jobs…). So we decided to start a food blog to share the fun things we make and do, and cull the knowledge of the other fabulous foodies we know.
