A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND BITES

Just Because,The Dish

Hey there. Good evening. Have you seen these?

If you have, well then look at you all cool and connected. If you haven’t—then you might want to pay closer attention to the Chow Bella blog, a daily collection of ditties pumped out by the Phoenix New Times. Chow Bella covers all things food and these drawings are a new regular feature called “What I Ate” by Chow Bella herself, Michele Laudig.

It’s refreshing to see someone in the foodie community do more than circle jerk a bunch of Twitter messages around the same handful of restaurants or write blog posts about inconsequential sh*t that serves no purpose greater than self promotion.

Woa. Did we just say that? Ironic, because there’s really no bigger self-promoting lush sluttier than our own Tyda. But let’s get back to those drawings… What we love more than anything (besides the fact that they’re really freakin’ good!) is that Laudig doesn’t seem to be doing them for any other reason than sharing a talent with all of us. There’s a refreshing honesty about them. Why hasn’t she done them before? Shy? Low on ink? Uninspired? Who knows. But now we can watch a tale of her life experiences unfold in a cool and original way. Love the drawings, Michele. Hope you keep it up!

    Wow. I am speechless. Thank you so much for the kind words — and makin’ my day. Cheers, Dave and Rick! xo

    P.S. – No idea why I didn’t share this stuff sooner. I’m sure you know how writing can take over . . .
