"alexa weibel" news and stories

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.
