Interviewing strangers over a meal since 2008 (as featured in the Washington Post)
The newest dinner interview is quite historical. Last month I sat down for a meal with Michael Krebs and Debra Ann Miller. They tour the country impersonating (or “presenting” in official speak) Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd in a 60-minute educational play. Click here to find out more…
This weekend I had dinner with some good friends at Bistro Italiano, a charming little restaurant in Washington DC’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. Why do you care? You probably don’t, but I can use a miniature restaurant review as an excuse for a site update. Tucked away on a street of…
Told you there was a new interview coming. Click here to learn about the life of Paul Roe, a tattoo artist living with his wife and son in Washington, DC. Paul doesn’t make any old tattoos. He specializes in what he describes as “haute tattoos” — unique images that will…
Time for another dinner interview. This one took place in New York City during a recent visit up there for a friend’s birthday. Side note: happy birthday again, Alistair. The picture above is of Kyle Michel Sullivan, an author of some rather controversial novels. Click on the picture or right…

So I’ve dropped the ball on new dinner interviews the last few months. Try to ignore that and instead focus on the fact there will be new articles up in late April. Good thing I’m not on salary for this site. Meantime, by way of a site update, let me…

So about that long-delayed New Orleans article…yeah, it’s coming. Finally got my laptop back from its repairs so expect the latest write-up this weekend. While I’m on the topic of New Orleans, I have to recommend Mother’s Restaurant, a fantastic place just outside of the French Quarter. They serve basic…
The first of my two New Orleans articles is on the way, and should be up within the week. Meanwhile, I’d like to take a minute — or really, type for a bit, because time is relative on the Internet, right? — to tell you, dear reader, about a great…
