My professional work also involves what might be called "the glamorous side of food". Besides writing about it, developing recipes, writing cooking class materials and so on, I also work in building global brands for cookbooks, food products and food personalities.
Last week I went to Raleigh Studios to meet with a producer about a budding celebrity chef who is represented by Endeavor Talent and Literary Agency (think HBO's entourage. By the way, I've been to that famous office for a meeting and I'll remind you not to believe everything you see on television).
At the meeting it was decided that the producer would write several pitches and shoot a reel for "budding celebrity chef". A follow-up meeting will be scheduled with the production company and Endeavor to make sure that everyone is on the same page and then we'll decide on strategies for moving forward.
I'll give more details as the project moves forward.
Oddly enough, I rarely talk about my work in "the glamorous side of food" in real life with most people I know. So, why am I posting on my blog for the whole world to see? Theoretically anyone with an internet access can read this blog and about "my life in food". But the fact of the matter is, most people who know me in real life don't bother to read this blog unless they are working with me on a project. And if they're working with me on a project I don't have to explain the relevance or irrelevance of this to them.
