Michelle Weber is a lapsed Catholic, lapsed vegetarian and lapsed lawyer. She writes Thursday Night Smackdown, an award-winning food blog beloved by dozens. She firmly believes that any food is instantly improved by 50% if (1) wrapped in puff pastry, (2) covered in cheese or (3) accompanied by a vodka gimlet.

During the day, she's a communications professional for a New York City non-profit.
