Chef News for Chefs: Hollywood and Vine Like some of Hollywood's most versatile actors, wine has long been cast in both good and bad guy roles: either it is a mark of sophistication or of evil. For viticulturists, though, the first howler is when everyone dons homemade butterfly wings and runs through the vineyards flapping their arms—this is supposed to keep the frost from killing the vines. They decide to clone the vine to start a new vineyard, and a new life— presumably one filled with genetic engineering and lobbying over organic labelling. chef2chef.net /news/foodservice/Editorial-Chefs_Corner/Hollywood_and_Vine.htm   (1979 words)

Americans are pretty reasonable about most things, it seems to me; it's Hollywood that's so massively hypocritical. discuss.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/zforum/01/waxman040301.htm   (3608 words)
