Sometime in the summer of 2014, my mom told me that she had watched an episode of Chopped where a chef named Anup Joshi won the competition. She told me that he was from New York and that I should go to his restaurant and ask him out. Ever the obedient daughter, I went to Tertulia and asked the wait staff if Chef Anup was working that night. They told me that he wasn't in. Even though I was disappointed, I happened to post a picture of my visit on Instagram. The next day I had a follow from Anup which I reciprocated immediately and we started sporadically liking each other's pictures. Imagine my surprise when after a year and a half of persistent, low-key flirting, I woke up one morning to find Anup had slid into my DM's! He asked me out for a coffee and the rest is history.
