    Talking Bagels, Tuna, and Food Person on “Book It”

    |

    A few months ago, I had the chance to go into CUNY TV’s studios here in NY to have an in-depth conversation about Food Person on “Book It,” with host, Carol Anne Riddell. Boy, did she do her research: she knew all about my hot takes on tuna salad, my strong opinions about bagels, and…

    Every neighborhood needs a Rucola. We’re very lucky here in Boerum Hill because our Rucola is Rucola.

    When I went on Watch What Happens Live to promote my novel Food Person, I was told that Andy would be asking me one and only one question: “What’s the book about?”

    I almost titled this post Salad Not-çoise because my starting point, with the recipe, was David Lebovitz’s blog post where he beautifully describes a salad–an authentic Niçoise–that is nothing like the one I ended up making.

    The chat went something like this. Craig-At-Work: What’s for dinner? Me-At-Home: I’m thinking of making a tuna noodle casserole. Craig-At-Work: Ugh. If I never eat a tuna noodle casserole again for the rest of my life, that’d be ok. Me-At-Home: Well I’ve never had one before so I’m going to make it, just for the…

    “I think people are afraid of me,” said Regina Schrambling, creator of the web site Gastropoda, a site where she skewers food world personalities with loving names like “The Porcine Pantload,” “The Human Scratch n’ Match,” and “The Drivelist.” (I’m lucky I got away with “The Tyro” and now “The-Not-So-Tyro-Anymore.”) To say that she writes…
