David Paw – Senior Editor | Resy

David Paw

Senior Editor

Growing up in the north of England set the culinary bar fairly low for David, who originally trained to be a cardiologist before pivoting to writing about restaurants after a fateful viewing of “The Devil Wears Prada.” Since then, he’s written a couple of books about food (one about London, the other about, um, sandwiches) while covering editorial at Resy for several cities and indulging his personal obsession with old and classic restaurants.
