The other day, I went to an event at the South Beach Food & Wine Festival that Alex Guarnaschelli was hosting.
I didn’t see her, but we were still there. Together…in spirit.
{Yes, I did drag my friends up and down the length of a very large white tent on the sand more times than I’d like to admit in an unsuccessful effort to find her}
You may also recall that I referenced her during a recent Q&A hosted by the lovely Lisa of a dinner party. You know, the one where I was asked who I’d invite over for dinner if I could ask anyone in the world, living or dead.
{It’s worth mentioning that Lisa featured Joy the Baker for her next Q&A. Me and Joy, doing the same interviews…NBD}
I’ve stalked out two dishes from South Florida restaurants Alex has referenced on the show “The Best Thing I Ever Ate.” I didn’t feel weird about it. At all. I was way too excited, in fact, to know that I was sitting in the same restaurants Alex had been at, ordering the same dishes.
Then, I learned that back in the day, Alex’s own mother used to edit cookbooks for the company I’m now working for. If that’s not a sign, I don’t know what is.
