The Expert
Ivy Lerner-Frank is a Montreal-based food and travel writer. Born in New Haven, Connecticut – home of the famous Frank Pepe white clam pizza – she’s called Beijing, Bangalore, Delhi, Hong Kong and Manila home, and remains connected to the people, food and culture of each of those places. She loves talking to people about their food stories and has been obsessed with telling people what to eat and where for as long as she can remember. In her spare time, she likes standing on her head and drinking natural wine, not at the same time.
