foodie52 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Just curious. Who, in your opinion, are the high profile chefs/restauranteurs/food lovers/food entrepreneurs in this town? I'm talking about people who, if you saw their photos somewhere, you'd instantly know who they are. Men and women, please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaymes Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I recognize those with whom I've taken a class at Central Market. Johnny Carino comes immediately to mind. And Hoover. Oh, and I also recognize Harry Knowles, who I guess doesn't count, despite the fact that I often see him, too, at Central Market. Yep, Ain't It Cool, Harry? Central Market, I mean.

napavalleyphil Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 OK, Rita............everyone is dying to know, where the heck have you been? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaymes Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Yes, and more important, with whom? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedQueen Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I thought y'all knew I go to Colorado in the summer, although having to leave my significant other does add a bit of a twist. Unfortunately, his Dad passed away on Thursday so I'm going to Martha's Vineyard for the funeral. The logistics are amazing--you really have to want to get there--first fly to Boston, then take a bus to Woods Hole, then take a ferry to Martha's Vineyard. It's going to be a very, very long day.

Kent Wang Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I think Tyson Cole is Austin's best celebrity. Sandra Bullock and Lance Armstrong have never made any sushi for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
