Fresno, we know you love to eat.<\/p>\n

And you\u2019ve shown us that you love to read about places to eat. So here at The Fresno Bee, we\u2019re bumping up our local food coverage and adding a second food reporter.<\/p>\n

No, longtime restaurant reporter Bethany Clough<\/a> isn\u2019t going anywhere. But now, Amber Hair has joined the staff covering restaurants and food.<\/p>\n

She comes to us from Ventura, where she was reporter and editor at the Pacific Coast Business Times.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s originally from Ohio, but also grew up in Florida. She\u2019s a graduate of the University of Central Florida and got her master\u2019s from Arizona State University.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s bounced around a lot, including studying in Singapore for six months. There, she picked up a taste for roti prata, an Indian flatbread she\u2019d get from a 24-hour shop down the street from her flat.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s covered small businesses \u2014 including restaurants, retail, food and agriculture \u2014 at various publications.<\/p>\n

Hair is a lover of theater, the arts and cats, and is looking to find her place in the local queer community.<\/p>\n

But as she\u2019s new to Fresno, we want you to tell her what restaurants she should visit. Fill out the Google form below, let us know why she should visit that restaurant and what she should order there.<\/p>\n
