Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
We were in New York City for a family event. Neil Gaiman has been telling me for I don’t know how many years now to go to Sasabune so I made sure I got reservations while we were there. My husband, 7 year old son and I were all going but I made the reservation…
Every time we go to Chicago I try to go to Alinea. My in-laws live there so we go at least once a year. Every time, something gets in the way. The first time we had reservations and I got sick, my husband went with his dad and they had an amazing meal. The trips…
I met Jason for sushi at Ozumo in Oakland on a rainy, rainy Tuesday before a “secret” show he had just announced at a venue that was closing called 21 Grand. It was a place dear to his heart as it was the original location for the first Monsters of Accordion show. The original “Monsters”…
Bouchon 6534 Washington Street Yountville, California 94599 707-944-8037 The Cowboy Junkies had a scheduled tour date on Friday night in Napa. We’re too far from there for it to be a day trip but I decided to use this show as a handy excuse for a wine country weekend. We drove up Friday morning and…
Kim Boekbinder is one half of the bewitching Vermillion Lies and is currently recording a solo album. Her voice is unique, her talent amazing. I fell in love with her music when I saw Vermillion Lies open for Amanda Palmer last year. In December, I saw her tweet, “It goes like this: I love food….
It’s been six years since my first trip to the French Laundry. I’d heard rumors that Thomas Keller had spread himself too thin, opening too many restaurants, too many projects, that the French Laundry had slipped and wasn’t as good as it used to be. I don’t know what these people are talking about!! And…
I had such a rock star week. It began with seeing Tori Amos two nights, one of which was from front row center seats. It continued with catching up with Neil Gaiman and meeting Amanda Palmer, and immediately leaving them and going to pick up my lunch date interviewee, Alan Anton of the fantabulous Cowboy…
David Sedaris appeared at our local bookstore over the weekend promoting When You Are Engulfed in Flames. He is so funny and such a good speaker I wanted to set up an interview with him. I contacted his publicist but she said his flight was getting in with just enough time to get to the…
Thomas Keller Kepler’s Books Menlo Park, CA November 10, 2004 The God of CookeryThere aren’t many people who can get me to leave my new little baby with my mom so I can see them. But there’s no way I was going to miss seeing the man who is responsible for the most decadent FoodPorn experience…
How does Tori Amos play 127 shows in 185 days, 6 shows a week for 9 months? Well, by somehow being a superhuman goddess is one guess. The more true-to-reality answer though is by taking a talented chef on the road with her and eating fabulous meals every day. Duncan Pickford works wonders whether he…
Anthony Bourdain Kepler’s Books Menlo Park, CA May 28, 2003 Tony Bourdain is out in support of his new book, The Bobby Gold Stories. He says it came from a “BBQ Epiphany.” Basically, he was BBQ-ing for his brother’s kids and getting way too much enjoyment out of it. Not to mention the fact that…
Neil and Chantrelle When Neil Gaiman was on tour for American Gods last year, I caught up with him at TechTV in San Francisco. We made a “date” to have sushi when he returned to the Bay Area. On July 2nd this year, Neil read his new book, Coraline, to a captivated Berkeley audience, all…
Alton Brown Barnes & Noble San Jose, CA June 15, 2002, 3pm The bookstore was PACKED by the time I got there…I knew my little clique of friends like Alton, but I didn’t realize there were soooo many fans! I got a spot towards the back where I could see but my camera didn’t have…
Anthony Bourdain Kepler’s Books Menlo Park, CA January 15, 2002, 7:30pm The room filled quickly, Mr. Bourdain being a FoodTV celebrity now, I’m sure word spreads quickly that he’ll be in town. The Bay Area folk are different though, I get the feeling that most of these people knew of “Tony” before A Cook’s Tour…
“I love the seduction of good wine. I love it when I have to surrender to it.” -Tori Amos -Revolver, Spring 2000 “I believe in eating. I think women especially have this fear of eating, and I think there is a whole euphoric plane you can rise to when you have a good meal. You…
