From Wiki:

He then moved to Chicago, where he worked as a reporter for Lerner Newspapers, a chain of community weekly newspapers. He got his start in restaurant criticism there as one quarter of a bi-weekly group-review team called "The Famished Four," along with his boyfriend, Barry Rice, then the chain's entertainment editor, who initiated the concept.

Allen then became a freelancer for Chicago magazine, eventually becoming a senior editor, and often writing about food, wine and luminaries of the culinary world. He joined Esquire in 1997 as a contributing editor. He contributed to an Esquire food series, profiled many celebrities and somehow co-authored the magazine's popular "Things a Man Should Know" series. He has written for a variety of other magazines and continues as a contributing editor for Esquire.

Allen gained great visibility in 2003, when he became a cast member of the reality television series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Allen was the show's food and wine specialist. He continued to make television appearances as a gourmet, including as a frequent guest judge on Food Network's Iron Chef America. Allen hosted a six-part documentary, "Uncorked: Wine Made Simple," on PBS starting May 7, 2007.




He knows his shit. and to me, it shows. I admit that his culinary gustatory expertise has been more apparent on Iron Chef America; but to me it is obvious that he knows his stuff and is quite refreshingly matter-of-fact in his summation. To me, Ted, Gail and sometimes Padma (when she is not drunk) have been fairly good.

Gail would not go ballistic over meatballs. Foie Gras, perhaps.
