Are you one of those people that can waste an entire day wandering aimlessly around Whole Foods or Dean and Deluca, buying nothing but tasting everything? Do you find yourself constantly getting invited to potlucks thrown by friends of friends of acquaintances, just because somebody told somebody who told somebody else about this thing you do with three kinds of cheese and a sliced apple? Do you take pictures of every freakin' thing you eat?
Slashfood is looking for a couple of obsessive foodies who want to translate their passion for great eating into great blogging. Style wise, we're looking for Ruth Reichl with the volume turned up. Actually, come to think of it, that would essentially make you Anthony Bourdain. Well, hey Tony – if you're available ...
Interested? Send us three 100-300 word sample posts. And spread the word – Slashfood knows no national boundaries.

Wolfgang Puck - His Corporate Philosophy Sucks!
Hello to all the Wolfgang Puck fans out there. I was one too but im sorry to report that there is a major problem at Wolfgang corporate. My mother worked at the South Florida Wolfgang Puck Restaurant for 6 years. She took a short vacation last month and came back to find a message on her machine stating that the restaurant had closed. None of the employees were given any prior notice to the day of the closing! The talk around the employees is that the restaurant and corporate didn’t want to risk losing a few weeks revenue (if they told the staff).
What a nice way to tell a full loyal staff that they not only have no job but today is your last day? What’s worse is that there was no PR backlash, story in the paper, etc. All I know is that I will not buy my usual Wolfgang Puck soups and pizza bearing his name from this day forth.

Mike,
Wolfgang Puck did that in San Diego as well. Don't take it personally, it's the way the company operates.
As for the main purpose of this post: I know plenty of people who love to talk about food, the hard part is getting those conversations into print. Anyone got any suggestions?
