Alan is the former Editorial Director of Spoon Hamilton and a literature & French double major at Hamilton College (Class of 2018), but he's originally and proudly from the Seattle area. Accordingly, you can often find him sipping on tea or coffee and going off about his Seattle biases. He has an undying love for cheese, a love-hate relationship with Asian fusion, and an obsession with cooking competition shows like MasterChef and Iron Chef. His go-to bubble tea order is taro milk tea with egg pudding.
