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.

In November of 2007 I made some major life changes and decided to focus on the healthier aspects of being a foodie, and switched the primary emphasis of the blog to healthy eating. The very idea of me losing weight was apparently so awe-inspiring that The New York Times decided to write an entire article about it.

I’m also Contributing Editor and columnist at Linux Magazine focusing on Linux Desktop issues and product reviews, and I write for Tech Broiler at ZDNet.
