Hey! Thanks for the shout-out! I feel pretty unworthy in a list amidst NYT and Observer writers, but it does make me feel nice. Thanks!
You had me at goofy pink pig. :)
Seriously, thoughtful combo of personal story, food writing, gorgeous photography and choice of recipe.
Of the articles that I wrote for the Press last year, I'm kind of partial to the one on Port that Katherine and I co-wrote.

Jay
@Jay Agreed. The Port post is one of the all time best. And forever celebrated in the "Best Food Writing: December 2008" post.
Hehehe. I didn't "co-write" that article with Jay. He did all the hard work; I just threw a few links in. :)
Thanks for the gelato shout-out! Marcelo was amazing to sit down and talk with; he's an extremely inspirational guy and it's just so obvious that he loves what he does.
