Our Man Sietsema: Eats! Cooks! Blogs!
Wednesday, Nov. 5 2008 @ 3:14PM If you need one more reason to guzzle Champagne all day, I've got another
nugget of good news for you. Our Man Sietsema, otherwise known as the
venerable Robert Sietsema, will be contributing to Fork in the Road on a
regular basis. Look forward to his thoughts on locavorism, snacks, cheap
eats (a perennial favorite around here) and the trademark Our Man
eccentricity. You'll know it's him because you'll see his byline above the
post. Capiche? http://blogs.villagevoice.com/forkintheroad/ ============ FROM THE NEW YORKER
