(Hey, what is this Skoal Project anyway?)
Happy Father’s Day! Unfortunately, we don’t have any father/son skål shots (except this one)
Dave and Dax Arnold. My older son Booker is too big to skoal!
so we decided to do a food media extravaganza instead.
First, for a master of all media:
David Rosengarten. Author, journalist, TV personality. Did Taste, does the Rosengarten Report, etc., etc. Learned to skål at his house in Iceland.
Now, for the real power behind food tv:
Susan Stockton. Senior Vice President, Culinary Productions, Food Network. Makes the Food Network kitchens happen.
In the land of print we have newspapers:
Jonathan Reynolds. Former NY Times Food columnist. Actor, writer, playwright, phenomenal skoaler.
and magazines:
Gabriella Gershenson. Eat Out Editor, Time Out New York. Likes a good cocktail.
And in the blogosphere, here are some real players:
Amanda Kludt. Blogger. Editor of Eater.com. CPU of the NY restaurant media world.
Adam Roberts. Blogger. The Amateur Gourmet. Genius behind "23 Awkward Seconds with Rachael Ray."
Maggie Shi. Blogger. Senior Food Editor for iVillage. Believes at dinner you should, "Put away the Blackberry and use your thumbs for a fork and knife."
Nick Solares. Food writer, photographer, and blogger. Writes for Serious Eats, runs Beef Aficionado. Searching for the perfect burger.
You’ve already seen Steven Shaw from eGullet. Here are two more of the big wigs:
Dave Scantland. eGullet director of operations. Username Dave the Cook. Wants you to eat more chicken skin.
Janet A. Zimmerman. eGullet treasurer. User name JAZ. Most active in "Spirits and Cocktails" forum. Oh Yeah.

Nice Father’s Day skoal, Dave. I’d be interested in a solo, non-alcoholic Booker skoal.

Perhaps it could be considered as sacrilegious to the teaching of Mr. Von Sidow, but it could be interesting to take a picture of people “skoaling” with LN Frozen Aquavit Espuma…

Hey completely unrelated to this post but I was hoping to probe your minds a bit more on gum arabic/xantham gum. I’m playing around with an idea for a “bubblegum” cocktail and have some questions. Is there an email address someone can be reached at?
