I was one of the first critics to have a real passionate interest in Asian food. When I fell in love with the Thai food I was eating in America, my next thing was I ve got to go to Thailand and find out what it s really supposed to be like. Before that, people thought the only thing you really had to know was French and Italian food. Q. You ve been a food critic, an editor and an author. At some point, I ll probably write about the New York Times years, but I need a little more distance.
Life s pretty exciting.
You never know what s around the corner. I d be the editor of Gourmet magazine.
