Editor’s Note: Introductions
“There’s a Blog in My Soup” is the latest addition to the ongoing renovation projects underway in the gazz blogosphere. This food-oriented blog will focus on adventures in eating in Charleston and across West Virginia. It will include accounts of area restaurant outings, food stream-of-consciousness posts (what IS in Brett Benjamin’s shopping cart), investigative reports on the varieties of bar peanut and pretzel mixes, how to make a margarita worthy of the Virgin Mary, and, really, anything having to do with putting things between your lips that is not porn-related to borrow a line from our other new blog, DowntownWV, by Walker DeVille, who has some other pointers for oral fun).
“Blog in My Soup” is written by two Charleston area residents. The capsule bios, please:
JOSH SAUL: Lover of sushi and a sucker for pizza in all its forms, Josh Saul avoids terms like “gourmand” or “foodie,” and instead thinks of himself more as a “roving belly.” A modestly accomplished artist and art educator, Josh also enjoys playing guitar and sticking it to the man–when he’s not on his way to the fridge, that is. He is a much better cook than you are.
JENNIFER HUGHES: During those particularly stressful moments in law school, Jennifer Hughes fantasized about switching gears and going to culinary school instead. Now, she’s content to just play chef in her own kitchen. She loves dining out and isn’t afraid to be adventurous (her most exotic food experience was eating cobra in Indonesia). But if she had to choose a last meal, it would probably just be a cheeseburger and french fries.
