Ily Goyanes

Ily Goyanes is a Cuban-American, a political moderate, an expert billiards player, and somewhat of a Zelig, but above all else she is a seeker of knowledge. Goyanes is commonly known as the Fuming Foodie -- a controversial, yet amusing persona she has cultivated via her column of the same name. In addition to her food column, she also writes about news, film, theater, music, business, and popular culture for the Miami New Times (Village Voice Media), and is an award-winning fiction author and editor. To challenge herself, she also does copywriting and editing for JLPR, a public relations firm that has worked on projects for Heineken, Burger King, Chili's, and Red Bull. For more information, to cuss at and/or praise Ily, or to invite her to a game of pool or a plate of Mexican food, she encourages you to send her an email or message her on Twitter.
