A native Texan, Brandon is actively trying to eat his way across the San Francisco Bay Area in search of the best food in town. His girlfriend, Hanh, joins him in this epic struggle for excellent dim sum in Chinatown and outstanding barbecue in Oakland. When not planning the next meal, Brandon is a huge baseball and football fan (Go Cowboys!) and an avid recreational poker player who seeks to redefine the notion of "dead money." Overwhelmed at home by his three needy cats - Spooky, Snowball, and Mignon - Brandon has sought refuge in a start-up company where he can steer clear of most sharp claws. Next things on the personal to-do list are to learn how to ski and to go skydiving for the first time.
