News The Amateur Gourmet recalls Richard Blais
Posted by Cliff Bostock @cliffbostock on Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 4:30 PM
Adam Roberts, the former Atlantan who writes a wonderful food blog, the Amateur Gourmet, has posted about Richard Blais' appearance on "Top Chef," and links to an archived post about his 31-course meal at Blais' short-lived eponymous restaurant. Check out the post here.
Adam has enjoyed great success since graduating from Emory law school and moving to New York to enroll in a creative writing program. He's now doing a terrific Web show, "The FN Dish," for the Food Network, and he's published a book of witty essays that's been very well-reviewed. Buy his book here.
I used to see Adam and his classmates studying at the Ansley Starbucks frequently. He told me at the time that he had no intention of practicing law but had agreed to please his parents by getting the law degree in exchange for their support of his going on to get an MFA in creative writing. It looks like we'll never know if he would have been as good a lawyer as food writer!
