Ruth Bourdain Named One of the CHOW 13
I’m fucking honored to be named among the 13 food movers and shakers anointed by CHOW for its annual CHOW 13 awards. Here’s an excerpt from the profile (check out the interview too):
For delivering a sharp send-up of the food world. There isn’t a lot of Watergate-esque secrecy in food writing: no Deep Throats or Primary Colors–style anonymous bylines. At least there wasn’t until this March, when a disturbing illustration that superimposed the aging hippie mane of former Gourmet editor Ruth Reichl over the shit-eating grin of Anthony Bourdain debuted on Twitter. This creepy character’s tweets were brilliant mash-ups of Reichl’s precious food haikus and Bourdain’s bad-boy bluster.
