Judith Klein - Bio

Judith's inspiration for everything culinary comes from her deeply seeded Eastern European roots. Her home country of Slovakia has taught her to appreciate food to the fullest-especially those hearty dumplings!

A current resident of Astoria, she's known in the 'hood as the Foodista, covering Astoria's restaurants, culinary adventures, and even her own recipes through her blog by the same name. Recently joining the Joey in Astoria crew, Judith provides a new perspective on Astoria food, scoping out value finds wherever she can. In her spare time, Judith experiments with new recipes -- mainly on her fiancé Dan -- and is on the constant hunt for that next foodie find. Her favorite restaurants in Astoria are Koliba, Zlata Praha, Ovelia, and Agnanti, and her latest food obsessions are dessert trucks and taco trucks.
