BAR AT JUNEBUG, NEW ORLEANS
I’m back in New York where today it is raining/sleeting as it will apparently do all week, quite the come-down from even the rainiest day I experienced in Napa. With the return to my inbox, I’m also back on my news perusal, and as such, this issue is different from what you’ve seen the last few weeks—from time to time I’ll be incorporating my read on news from other sources, for your pleasure and potential/ongoing edificatiooooon.
Some housekeeping before we get into it, paywalls will be phased into coming issues, to coincide with the introduction of monthly memberships and the non-discounted annual rate. There’s more good stuff on the way: a personal refresh on the antiquated chef profile with Kabawa’s Paul Carmichael, an exploration into chef brand collaborations and how they might not always align with one’s public persona, a series reflecting on the inner lives of persons of note, and more.
