Hi, I’m Lia Picard, a journalist and freelance writer living in Atlanta. I moved to Atlanta in 2013 and have a deep knowledge of its food scene and keep my finger on the pulse of cultural happenings. Beyond Atlanta, I report on food, spirits, travel, hotels, interior design, culture, and whatever else strikes my fancy for national publications. You can read my work in publications like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Conde Nast Traveler, Robb Report, and more.

I’ve never met a stranger and I love connecting with people all around the globe. I get to know the people behind the dishes we eat including chefs and farmers, as well as other tastemakers. I take pride in sharing their stories.

Thank you for visiting my website! I hope you’ll read my work, see what I’m up to on Instagram, or drop me a line — I’d love to work with you.
