You know you're one wack foodie when
Jan. 19th, 2009 10:54 pmAnthony Bourdain visits your town, and not only have you eaten in all the restaurants, you've interviewed his first guest.
*headdesk*
No lie. George Pelecanos was one of the first guests I nabbed for Mystery Readers Corner back in the day. The only place other than DC Central Kitchen (which combines a program to feed DC's disenfranchised with a food prep and service training program) I haven't patronized recently is the Abay Market on George Mason Drive. (Ethiopian food and I aren't friends. I can't tell the meat from the vegetables, so my brain refuses to let me enjoy it.) But I used to eat at all the restaurant's past incarnations.

What makes this all the more surreal is, from the background shots, he was in town just about the time I was writing a video script in case they offered another opportunity for viewers to help create a No Reservations episode. And where and what was I pimping--the locals' Washington, DC. The script mentioned about half the places he visited and covered many of the same themes.
Talk about strange.
Hugs and smiles,
