Sky Full of Bacon


Beard Awards: Reichl Defeats Reichl (And Us)

Ruth Reichl and Gourmet won the James Beard Foundation Award for Food Journalism: Multimedia, defeating Ruth Reichl and Gourmet, and also… where is it, I have it here somewhere… ah yes, The Whole Hog Project from Mike Sula at the Chicago Reader and, representing the multi part of multimedia, Sky Full of Bacon. (See them here and here if, somehow by now, you haven’t.)

It was, in any case, a great thing to be nominated along with the Reader, and I thank them for the opportunity which I hope they feel I rose to, and which has afforded me entree to top chefs and national attention at an earlier stage than I could have done on my own. Big thanks to Mike Sula for inviting me along on the last stage of his adventure, and to Kate Schmidt, his editor, for supporting this in-depth project in so many ways, my part included.
