Hello 👋 I’m Sammy, a food blogger (if people still say that?) living in Brighton with a not-so-secret passion for all things food and coffee.
No matter where I am, or the time of day, food is basically on my mind.
The Third Place came to be through a strange mix of education, proscrastination, and after way too many disappointing dining experiences. This was back in 2016 when I realised that the people writing Tripadvisor reviews were basically either suuuper pleased or suuuper angry about something.
At the same time in life, I’d been struggling with a lot of anxiety and depression, which often left me physically affected and prone to cancelling social plans. Creating a blog and transforming my Instagram account became both a creative outlet and sense of purpose. Now, I’m very lucky to say I’ve met so many amazing people that I now call good friends through doing this.
Blogging may not look the same as it did 10 years ago. I do struggle with the ‘keeping up’ of it all, changing algorithms and content formats, but I’m pleased to say that my love for exploring Brighton’s ever-evolving food scene has not changed.
Give me a wave over on Instagram if you fancy it! I’m @thirdplacebtn.
