About
My name is Jason Perlow, and I’m a proud owner of a Golden Penguin Award, certifying that I am a card carrying nerd.
I founded the eGullet.com food discussion community along with food writer Steven Shaw in August of 2001 and was its sole financial supporter, proprietor and technologist. In 2004 I gave up my financial interest in the company and it became the eGullet Society for Culinary Arts and Letters, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit charity and I joined it’s Board of Directors. In February 2006 I founded Off The Broiler to return to my roots as a food enthusiast and do what I truly loved, which is to talk and write about food, technology and other topics that genuinely interested me. In April of 2006 I left eGullet and its Board of Directors to concentrate on Off The Broiler full time.
I am now a humble blogger.
I’m also Contributing Editor and columnist at Linux Magazine focusing on Linux Desktop issues and product reviews, and I write for the Between The Lines blog at ZDNet.
