Cat Out of the Bag


Sooooo... You may or may not have heard that I got a new gig..

Let me just first say that it has been a wild and fun ride since I started this blog over two years ago. I've met so many outstanding people along the way, and received a lot of support from this great community of food bloggers and writers.

And from what I understand, I was in the running for the ethnic dining beat with a handful of talented individuals who are more than capable in doing the job and doing it well. I'm honored to have been considered alongside with them and I hope I won't let them down.

Anyways, so the AJC created and ran a caricature of the dining team as you can see below. I'm pictured second from the left.

My only beef so far is that their depiction of me was completely off. I mean, how did they get that when I really look like this?

See you all on the flip side.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! So glad your talent for food writing will now reach even more people. What day will you be in "the paper" (said in quotes because we will be reading online)?

Marissa - I will be online every Wednesday morning on the Food & More blog. And every third Friday in print for a regular review. Is this Matty's Marissa?

ScottN - Ha right?

Thanks everyone else!

Got it! And I just read the Anthony Effing Bourdain article. Bourdain...really?! He signed Kitchen Confidential for me about 10 years ago, in Seattle. Too bad we are going to miss his Atlanta visit. And yes, it's "Matty's marissa"...we are both so very proud of you!
