“I’ve become everything I ever mocked as penance for the hedonism of my youth.”
— Matthew Meador

Matt Meador is a retired food and beverage writer and editor. Since age and circumstance conspired to deprive him of his customary food and drink, he has shifted his attentions to political commentary because this switch allows him to be a little grouchy.

Prior to his work celebrating food and spirits, Matt was an award-winning graphic artist.

Rumor has it Matt hung around the capitol where he learned a simple plate of cookies delivered to Legislative Counsel could get his bills moved to the top of the pile. Who says there’s no corruption in state politics?
