We met the modern way, on a dating app, but from the very first message, it was clear this wasn’t going to be your average swipe-right story. Knowing I was a chef at the time, Josh skipped the small talk and went straight for the challenge: “Private chef huh? Ok welcome to Chopped – Josh’s kitchen. I have elk ribs, panko crumbs, and a leftover quesadilla from Taco Bell. What are you making?” Luckily, I passed the first round. Six days later, we went on our first date. What Josh didn’t know when he picked the restaurant? It was in my building. Josh walked me all 5 feet home that night. From the moment we sat down, it felt easy, like we’d already known each other. Since then, life together has been a lot like that first challenge: a little unexpected, always fun, and best when shared. We’ve been eating, laughing, and traveling our way through it all—turning simple moments into something unforgettable. And it all started with a swipe… and a very questionable mystery basket.
