Bourdain slices and skewers
I have never met Anthony Bourdain. I have never read one of his books, seen him on TV or dined at one of his restaurants. I would, however, like to make out with him until my face falls off.
Why? Not because he’s especially good looking — although he does have a certain brooding charm that has been known to influence me in ways best left unmentioned in a blog that my priest might read — but because he is a genius.
Read this, then get in the make-out line…behind me.
Did you hear that little woosh on Saturday? The sound of a little coolness being sucked out of Austin? That’s because Hot Rod Betties, THE place for the safety pin and saddle shoe set to get a cut and curl, shut its South First doors last week. No word on when and where Bettie will resurface, but when they do, you’ll hear about it here first.
Thank you for the e-mails about my missing-in-action status. I had a bit of sickness (note: I am NOT down with it), but am fine now. Y’all are the best.

**Miss Adventure responds**
Must be thinking alike again, although please don't think me above stealing links, because I'll do it.
By all of us down at the mill

Glad you're back.
Having read (as per your "click here" note) the Tony from Cleveland's piece on theatrical cookery, we're doubly glad we have YOU to read.
True, the fellow has a sharp wit that is almost up to your caliber.
But ... if there was so much as a pinch of the class or the generosity of spirit that we get from you ... we missed it
Yet you've declared the fellow smoochworthy.
Couldn't fathom it m'self, but C.J. says opposites CAN attract.
P'rhaps that's it.
