Allen's credits include: New York Times reporter, TV reality show love interest, rubber ducky salesman, podcast host, marathon runner and restaurant prep cook. Besides writing for many outlets-- Vanity Fair, New York Magazine, Food&Wine... hell, even Cosmopolitan -- he has cast industrial films in Hong Kong, picked oranges in Crete, and peddled oil paintings door-to-door in Western Australia. Allen has a hobby of attending Summer Olympics: 7 so far plus two winters and a World Cup.
He attended U.C. Berkeley (Go Bears! -- graduation dinner Chez Panisse downstairs), Calabasas High (pre-Kardashians), and N.Y.U.'s Journalism Masters Program. He has since taught at N.Y.U.
"The Method to the Madness: Donald Trump's Ascent as Told by Those Who Were Hired, Fired, Inspired and Inaugurated," co-authored with Aaron Short, is Allen's third book.
"From Scratch: Inside the Food Network" is Allen's second book. He wrote "Festivus: The Holiday for the Rest of Us", a bit of a lighter affair, a few years ago. You can still check that out at festivusbook.com.
Some of Allen's favorite topics he's written on include: Monocles (They're Back), Annie Leibovitz's finances, and the last waterbed salesman in the San Francisco Bay Area.
