Aidan Jacob is currently attending the University of Michigan majoring in Economics. He was born in Cohasset, Massachusetts before moving to Milford, Michigan at age 1. Aidan stuck strictly to traditional American food until he was 8, which is when he moved once again to England, where he was introduced to a variety of new foods and dishes. It was this experience that led Aidan to branch out and find new cultural foods once he got back to the United States.
Since moving away from home and coming to Ann Arbor, Aidan continues to search for new restaurants where he can try new foods and learn about their cultural importance. He has also taken up cooking when he can, and has said he finds it to be relaxing and a good hobby.
