Paul Young is a townie who graduated from UIUC twice: once with a bachelors in graphic design and then again with a masters in education. Paul has been a foodie all his life (even though he didn’t know what a foodie was until recently). Whenever he travels, he looks for destinations where there are good things to to eat. He has eaten his way through New York City (8 years) and Milwaukee (2 years), but has finally settled down here in Champaign-Urbana (since 1994). When he’s not eating, he is either doing graphic design or teaching at Parkland College in order to earn money to buy food. In a former life, Paul was the founder and publisher of The Octopus weekly newspaper where he wrote about food every now and then.
