K.O. Pairings

Welcome to K.O. Pairings! My name is Kyle, and I have a passion for flavor. I love understanding how and why flavors pair together. So I figured what better way to understand pairing flavors, than to have fun pairing food with drink, and document it! Here I share these experiments with food and drink pairings and talk about why I paired the two. Please reach out if you have any questions or foods/drinks you want to see a pairing for!
