My Boyfriend Will Judge My Husband–2009 Food & Wine Celebration
We all know that I have multiple culinary crushes; each one of them plays a different role in my fantasy life.
Anthony Bourdain, The Bad Boy.
Michael Anthony of Gramercy Tavern, The Sweet-Quiet-One-Who-Secretly-Sports-Multiple-Tattoos-and-Drives-a-Ducati-on-Sundays (the one day he’s out of the kitchen)
Daniel Boulud of Restaurant Daniel, The Sophisticated-Euro-I-Never-Married (and that’s probably a good thing)
But the chef/culinary journalist who tops them all (aside from my hottie-of-a-husband, of course) is the the inimitable, Michael Ruhlman. The man can do no wrong. He’s the Thinking Woman’s Chef, the Literary Culinary Crusader, the best- damn-writer-that-has-ever-graced-the-pages-of-Gourmet Magazine (and I’m obligated to mention that he has the thickest, most luscious hair in the biz).
And this July, my two worlds collide… (That kinda sounds like a movie trailer, right?)
Michael Ruhlman will judge Jamie in the 2009 Food & Wine Celebration to benefit Veggie U. The Star Chef Cook Off will be a show-down between the hottest cooks on television. In competition: 3 stars from Top Chef (BRAVO), Hell’s Kitchen (Fox) and Chopped (Food Network).
I’m a little nervous… Will my boyfriend and my husband get along? What if their culinary styles clash and I’m caught in the cross-fire? Will Parker get to see her Daddy walk away the champion?
Get your forks out and stay tuned. The boys will spar in mid July.
