20 Questions with a Slashfoodie - Alexa Weibel


When new bloggers join the Slashfood team, we like to make sure they get a proper introduction to our readers. Meet the latest addition to our team, assistant editor Alexa Weibel.

Do you have a personal blog?

Not quite yet: I'm trying to narrow down my focus, whether it be cooking, food photography, or restaurant notes. Until then, I post my food photos as Facebook updates, much to the chagrin of my disinterested non-foodie friends.

What is your day job, or rather, what do you do when you're not food blogging?
I'm an editorial assistant at Saveur magazine and freelance writer for Venus Zine.

How long have you been blogging with Slashfood and what's your favorite post?
I just started last week, and my first post is a review of a guacamole cookbook. The book itself was disappointing -- comically so -- but it did make me realize that bacon can be, surprisingly, an amazing guacamole ingredient.

20 Questions with a Slashfoodie - Rebecca Flint Marx


20 questionsDo you have a personal blog?

Sort of. It's in the works. Ask me later.

What is your day job, or rather, what do you do when you're not food blogging?

I write about food for other publications like Time Out New York, Gourmet and Metromix. I've also written for places including The New York Times, Interior Design, ELLE, New York Magazine and Salon. And I was a baker in a past life before attending the French Culinary Institute for formal training.

How long have you been blogging with Slashfood and what is your favorite post?


Less than a month. If we're talking about a favorite post that I've written, I'm partial to my post about cooking an ostrich egg.

20 Questions for a Slashfoodie: Amy McDaniel

Me and a glass of orchid sangria
When new bloggers join the Slashfood team, we like to make sure they get a proper introduction to our readers. You've met Gretchen Roberts, Eric Diesel, Mike Pomranz, and Annie Scott. Now meet the latest addition to our team, Amy McDaniel.

Do you have a personal blog?

That's kind of personal question. And, no.

What is your day job, or rather, what do you do when you're not food blogging?
I do some freelance writing for Saveur, and I'm working on my first book. Somewhat more profitably, I teach English at a small liberal arts college. Hmm, I wonder if my students ever google me. Should I censor myself on Slashfood?

How long have you been blogging with Slashfood and what is your favorite post?
This is my third or fourth post. My favorite so far is the one that mentions Alice B. Toklas because someone referred to her recipe for Hashish Brownies in the comments this one (upon reflection).

Do you have any non-food-related, non-blogging hobbies?
I co-host a poetry and fiction reading series in Atlanta with an impolite name.

Not every foodie does, so we have to ask: Do you cook?
Why yes. Earlier this week I made dinner for one: roasted halibut with shitake-miso broth and udon noodles. When I entertain, I either go all out, which usually involves charcuterie, or for something more casual I stick to my grandmother's southern recipes.

What is your most prized utensil/gadget in the kitchen?
A wooden spoon that belonged to my great-grandmother.

20 Questions with a Slashfoodie: Gretchen Roberts

Gretchen RobertsWhen new bloggers join the Slashfood team, we like to make sure they get a proper introduction to our readers. You've met Eric Diesel, Mike Pomranz, and Annie Scott. Now meet the latest addition to our team, Gretchen Roberts.

Do you have a personal blog?

Yes, it's called Everyday Wine, though I don't post over there nearly as often now that I'm blogging at Slashfood.

What is your day job, or rather, what do you do when you're not food blogging?
I'm a freelance writer specializing in wine, food, home, and garden. I write a lot of wine stories from food and wine pairings and recipe development to "green" wine, the latest and greatest trend. I also write gardening stories and home features. Most of my work is published in magazines and online, and I do the occasional corporate job.

How long have you been blogging with Slashfood and what is your favorite post?
I started with Slashfood in September. My very first post was about amazon.com offering wine, and it got a lot of comments, so I was buoyed by the great Slashfood readers who care about shipping laws as much as I do.

20 Questions with a Slashfoodie: Neil Goldstein

When new bloggers join the Slashfood team, we like to make sure they get a proper introduction to our readers. You've met Julie Tilsner, Monika Bartyzel, Stefani Pollack, Ellen Slattery, Shayna Glick, Sarah J. Gim and Alanna Kaufman. Now meet the latest addition to our team, Neil Goldstein. -- Marisa McClellan

Do you have a personal blog? Neil and Amy Goldstein
Yes, I maintain two main blogs, FOFIO! which is my personal blog, and The Eaten Path, which is where I post my food-related writing. Also a freeware blog and one for my late brother Paul. My daughter Amy does most of the photography for my posts. You can see her work here.

What is your day job, or rather, what do you do when you're not food blogging?
I am a techie. I work as a senior desktop support tech for AOL in the East Village of Manhattan.

How long have you been blogging with Slashfood and what is your favorite post?
I started two months ago, with two posts I wrote on wild edibles. My favorite so far, was Sarah Gim's very honest and accurate writeup on the scary Banquet Salisbury Steak Dinner. My kids and I repeatedly joke about TV-dinner style meals. The ones with deserts are even worse since you always end up with a corn brownie or pudding fries.

Do you have any non-food-related, non-blogging hobbies?
Hiking, music, and all things technical.

20 Questions with a Slashfoodie: Kat Kinsman



When new bloggers join the Slashfood team, we like to make sure they get a proper introduction to our readers. However, sometimes we miss the boat and a blogger flies under the radar, writing for many months without an introduction. Kat Kinsman, the senior editor of AOL Food has been blogging for us some time and we're finally getting around to giving her a proper introduction. Please give her a nice welcome! -- Marisa McClellan

Do you have a personal blog?


Yes, I do, and it resulted in my being investigated by the Secret Service -- who originally didn't realize that it was a political satire and believed that I really, truly did yearn to spend my days and nights in a vat full of pudding with Karl Rove. I hear he is an amazing chef, though. I also maintain a Twitter.

What is your day job, or rather, what do you do when you're not food blogging?


I'm the senior editor of AOL Food, and I loooove taking my work home with me.

How long have you been blogging with Slashfood and what is your favorite post?


I had been blogging at AOLfoodblog.com for rather a while when we merged with Slashfood, so if we count that, it's a bit over a year. My favorite post was one where I talked about how my husband Douglas and I surprised our parents by getting some of our most favorite recipes from each side of our new family and having our caterers/friends serve them at our wedding reception. I posted my Dad's Hungarian goulash and Douglas' Mom & Grandmother's chicken and dumplings recipes along with the story. There was just such a warm, wonderful response in the comments, and it was a treat to share this with our families.

What I didn't anticipate, though, was a commenter who took the time out to tell me how very tacky it was of us to serve such common food, and that we should have used the occasion to serve "special" "fancy" food to our guests. I wrote back to her to say that it actually was incredibly special food to us, and that we loved sharing these parts of our lives with our guests, but she just got even nastier in her response. Ah well. That's the internet for ya.

Tip of the Day

December may have peppermint bark, but have you thought to incorporate the taste of autumn into white chocolate with a rich pumpkin swirl?
