Hello, I'm Jazmin
How did Food Police get started?
It was 2015. I graduated college two years earlier with a marketing degree and had a 9-to-5 at a company that serviced the energy industry in the the city of Toluca. Needless to say, most of my paychecks were spent going out to eat on weekends in Mexico City.
I would check out the mainstream outlets of that time for ideas on where to go next; and while some of their reviews held true, more often than not, I’d leave in disagreement. So I opened Food Police on a Wordpress with the sole purpose of sharing my personal experiences with these places.
By some twist of fate, I majored in marketing, but since I was young my true callings have always been: not holding back and writing, so through Food Police I found an outlet to creatively express both. A year later, I quit my job and spent my time traveling and writing about it. Since then, I haven’t worked in something that didn't involve food.
What drives us?
I'm convinced that there is an audience eager for high-quality food content.
A smart, bright audience that, notwithstanding what’s trending today, yearns to be heard, taken seriously and respected with well-told stories, whether they are spectators or actively part of these narratives. Food Police exists for them.
