Hey, why not toot Adam's horn a bit more--he dominated the NY Times article on 'Hot Dog Pocketbooks' (terrible title for the article, though, at first I thought it was a fashion article about pocketbooks shaped like hot dogs).
The Bruni article was really moving and surprising.

@HeartofGlass: I wrote this post and don't often like to toot my own horn!

@Adam--aw, I just noticed the byline--anyway, congrats!

@HeartofGlass: Thanks! I still think the description "prominent New York food blogger" is sort of funny.
Adam Kuban at 2:12PM on 07/20/09
I, however, have no problem tooting my own horn. Nice food styling on that cover. I wonder who did it?

Brian: I was going to give you kudos on that but got sidetracked. Great styling. Were you tempted to eat that illustration? I know I would have been.
Adam Kuban at 4:59PM on 07/20/09
It was actually all real food. The only reason NYTimes credited the photographer with a photo illustration instead of just photo was because they have tougher-than-average standards about even minor photo manipulation. We were tempted and did eat the fried chicken - I got it from BonBon chicken on Chambers Street.
BrianPrestonCampbell at 5:03PM on 07/20/09
Yes—particularly after the whole photoshopped abandoned-homes debacle they had a couple weeks ago in the magazine.
Bon Bon Chicken. Hah. Thanks for the insight, Brian. (By the way, are you on Twitter? I wanted to @tweet you congrats on this, too, but I couldn't find you.)

@Adam: You got it, that's exactly why they made the credit read the way it did -- good call.
I am on twitter as @foodstylistny and I follow @slice!
