About this episode's guest, Sara Bir For a while, I only ate meat in the form of sausage. Though my diet of animal flesh is more inclusive these days, I still try to keep meat-eating to a minimum.
My past jobs run the gamut: donut shop counter girl, microbrewery fry cook, sausage cart vendor, wine country banquet server, magazine recipe tester, chocolate factory tour guide, cookwares store floor lead…and probably a few others I forgot. Though oftentimes far from glamorous, such jobs give you the best stories, as well as a thick skin (literally and metaphorically).
I don’t review restaurants. Some food writers do, but most of us focus on other areas, like recipes, essays, and profiles of interesting folks.
For about a year and a half I was the restaurant critic for the North Bay Bohemian in Santa Rosa, California. Any sane person would have loved it! Me, no. Driving home halfway buzzed with a belly full of beurre blanc and seared tuna, I’d feel like a disgusting gourmand, and sometimes the food at these places was disappointing, and I’d think to myself, “That meal was a lost meal, those calories wasted calories.”
Beets, goat cheese, chocolate, cacao nibs, asparagus, pawpaws, kale, shrimp and blue crab caught off the waters of Edisto Island in South Carolina…but generally, it’s easier to say what I don’t like. I don’t like frozen lima beans or tarragon very much. I don’t think chicken belongs on pizza. That’s a pet peeve of mine.
