Narcissism, Slow Food, etc...
Been very busy writing the last couple of weeks, for which I am very grateful. I just finished the following stories:

-An article about pathological narcissism. I interviewed Professor Frederick Rhodewalt, who is considered to be one of the country's leading experts on the subject. The story will be out in the Nov/Dec. issue of Arts & Living California magazine.

-Ventura Weekend Getaway/Slow Food Scene: I spent the weekend in Ventura, CA a couple of months ago and discovered that this sleepy little beach town has quite a budding restaurant scene. Many of the chefs here embrace the Slow Food movement, which focuses on using local ingredients and products. Out in the Jan/Feb. issue of Intermezzo magazine.

-Chef Profile on Carolynn Spence: This tatted-up talent heads the kitchens of the famed Chateau Marmont hotel restaurant and the Bar Marmont gastropub next door, and her food is mind-blowing. I got to sample the best double-cut pork chop I have ever had, and that's no exaggeration (it comes with bacon-wrapped apples!?!). Coming soon in Intermezzo magazine.

-My Japan and Chef Josef Centeno stories will be out in the next issue of Intermezzo, which should be on stands in a few weeks (I was wrong about the dates last time I posted - sorry!).

-I'm off to New Zealand for two weeks to explore the food and food culture of this beautiful country. More when I return!
