About
The Streetwise Gourmet is a publication of thoughts on food and drink, recipes, and honest restaurant reviews of Baltimore area restaurants from two guys - Matt Lallo and Peter Kaizer - passionate about good food.
About Matt
Matt Lallo was born, educated and has lived in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania region for all of his life. His early love of the food and fun that the restaurant business seems to promise soon gave way to an appreciation of the demanding operational and financial aspects of the business. He ended his long career as CFO of companies that needed the direction of someone with the discipline and business acumen needed to compete in an industry that had become increasingly competitive.
About Peter
A product designer for large-scale websites, Peter has always been passionate about user experience, function, and beautiful design. He has always been drawn to creating things and spent 20 years as a studio potter before becoming immersed in digital product, strategy and website design. In his free time, Peter is an avid cook and sourdough bread baker who can always find great places to eat wherever he travels.
