Rebecca Cahilly
Fine Dining Writer Rebecca Cahilly’s passion for food is nearly as intense as her passion for travel, so she tries to combine both whenever possible. “I’ve always been a stickler for great service and fresh, not frozen, food,” she says, “With two small children, going out is a rare and special occasion, so this criteria is now an imperative.” When she’s not dodging spoonfuls of ketchup during family outings to Chick-Fil-A, she and her husband are most likely to be found enjoying a quiet meal and a bottle of the house’s finest at these secret date-night spots.
