Gary R. Beck first visited Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in February, 1979 and knew immediately that this was a special spiritual place where many wonderful experiences would follow over the years. Educated in horticulture, his livelihood turned to the restaurant business, working as a food server and wine buyer for 20 years in San Francisco, CA. Now cooking, dining out, creating recipes and exploring new tastes are hobbies that bring never-ending pleasures. Exploring Puerto Vallarta's rich array of eateries is exhilarating. He contributes regularly to Zagat surveys and has had recipes published in Sunset Magazine and local Bay Area newspapers while maintaining worldwide contacts on African violet culture, hybridizing, exhibiting, judging and photographing. Recently, his restaurant reviews and work have been published in Puerto Vallarta Bay Area newspapers and magazines and now available online.

Glad to share insights and show you around...
Reply to this Gary, I changed the title of this thread for you so that it was less an advertisement for you former blog (looked like you posted that while still learning the ropes) and more a summary of the information you were providing. Thanks, have fun in PV.
