Time Out Chicago



This was a piece recently done for Time Out Chicago's Eat Out section. The article was about a roundtable discussion with critics, chefs and bloggers discussing multiple issues. I was told that the chefs are now starting their own blogs in order to have a forum to respond to critics. Apparently these tend get heated, and people respond to specifics, and there's lots of trash talk and back and forth etc...

This was the final, a little mix of culinary guerilla warfare and critic-blogger droids caught up in the cyclical nature of these virtual discussions. I only had an overview of the article to work off of, but Mike Novak (TOC Art Director) did a great job of conveying what it was that they were looking for. The full article and illustration can be viewed here.

Yeah, the olive oil firebomb is brilliant. I would love to see what happens next

I could imagin the battle, At some point I worked in a restaurant and the chefs were mental, thowing with plates, harrasing staff members etc But they where always nice to me, posible because I had the key to the drinks
