MCB Food Editor makes “The Lust List”!
Filed Under (Fashion & Style, MCB News, People, Food & Restaurants) by GingerSnaps on 02-06-2008

Who said we weren’t a bunch of hotties running this joint?

I am thrilled to announce that Food Editor, Claudia Young, made the cover story of this week’s Nashville Scene!

cover_claudia-400_.jpgClaudia Young

When Claudia began chiming in on Bites, the Scene’s food blog, we could tell instantly that she knew her way around a kitchen, a menu and some of the finest restaurants in the country. But when we logged onto Claudia’s own website, we realized that her recipe for lamb shanks with three-hour polenta wasn’t the only thing in her gourmet kitchen that was lean and hot. With a broad smile and wavy mane of dark blond hair, her photograph leaps off the cyber-page, where it is posted among photographs of her daily culinary exploits, from bottarga (sun-dried mullet roe) to tarte tatin. A native New Yorker and veteran of songwriting circles, Claudia, 46, works from home, where she can be close to her kitchen and computer. In between running her “multi-hundred-dollar enterprise,” she spends her time cooking exquisite meals, eating them and then fretting about everything she has eaten, hence the name of her appetizing and amusing blog. Desperately seeking a domestic goddess? Log onto cookeatFRET.com. You may not win Claudia’s heart, but if you enjoy pretty food and pretty people, you’ll definitely find quite the dish.

Congratulations, Claudia, for this much-deserved recognition!!!

Nice job, Claudia! I’m impressed and salivating.


Christian on 6 February, 2008 at 5:29 pm #

Just what I need! Something to make my guts grumble come lunchtime. Look forward to seeing your stuff, Claudia. just be kind around lunchtime and lay off the juicy photos. ;)


Jeffraham Prestonian on 6 February, 2008 at 5:48 pm #

Dang! T3h hawt! :)

(I had to do a double-take, ’cause I couldn’t figure out why she would be reading a book authored by progrock/jazz drummer Bill Bruford…)

Claudia:

Congratulations, a very nice photo.

I was just reading about serving Bottarga the other day–now I have to find out where that was!

And a songwriter, too? but, then again it’s Nashville.

Have you ever read “Fender Bender” or “Radio Active” by Bill Fitzhugh (I may have the last name wrong)?


Lesley on 6 February, 2008 at 11:02 pm #

Fabulous photo!

Democommie: Bill Fitzhugh is one of my favorite writers. His stuff is so fun and he’s a really neat person. I loved Fender Benders. But Pest Control was my fave.


Newscoma on 7 February, 2008 at 3:28 am #

The photo is amazing. Claudia …
WELL DESERVED!


democommie on 7 February, 2008 at 6:08 am #

Lesley:

Mine too. But “Heart Seizure” was pretty hilarious, too. Try Christopher Moore (”Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove” and others) or Tim Dorsey (”Florida Roadkill” and the rest of the “Serge Storms” ouvre).

Well, they may be sexist running dogs, but they have good taste. ;)


Steve H. on 7 February, 2008 at 10:01 am #

Sexist running dogs?


claudia on 7 February, 2008 at 11:09 am #

Sexist running dogs?


Jim Voorhies on 7 February, 2008 at 11:12 am #

it’s from the 60s I guess. Ya hadda be there.


Jim Voorhies on 7 February, 2008 at 1:59 pm #

Doonesberry! It’s a Doonesberry cultural reference. (I love it when I remember!)


Claudia on 7 February, 2008 at 4:15 pm #

i googled it but got nothing.

remembering stuff is kinda like finding $20 in your coat pocket.


Chris Wage on 7 February, 2008 at 7:49 pm #

I can’t believe i didn’t make this list.

“Granclaud you look hot!” says the 5 year old in the back seat. Nuff said.
