Hi!
Hope you all have been well. My last newsletter was pretty epic and I cannot promise you another one on that same level.
So, here is a run-of-the-mill work update newsletter. Groundbreaking!!
The big news is that I started my own podcast. Well, miniseries at least. The kind people at Heritage Radio Network generously allowed me to record a seven episode series that’s a behind-the-scenes look at Saved by the Bellini.
It’s called… Saved by the Bellini: The Podcast and I interview people who were involved in the book in some way: whether it’s my editor, various bar icons, or even people more obliquely related to the book like Brian Raftery, who wrote a book about 1999 being the best film year ever that’s one of my all-time favorite books.
Speaking of podcasts. Recipe Club is in full swing and you can get caught up here.
And if you somehow missed the Bon Appetit article(s) that made everyone mad. The Yoo-Hoo and Absinthe one is here, and the Gatorade and Chartreuse one is here. I also wrote about the Naked & Famous, one of my favorite Aperol cocktails.
My interview series for Thrillist has survived the Vox layoffs in a slightly different format but it continues nonetheless. I most recently interviewed Sherry Vine and she was amazing and iconic.
I also wrote about Queer-owned drink brands for Food Network.
What else! My friend Kiki Aranita featured Saved by the Bellini in her piece about 90s nostalgia sweeping the food world. And I went back on the TASTE podcast.
And now here’s a picture of our cat Tetris.
