Summer 2011

Features

Vegetablist, Homecooker, Marcy Smothers

Marcy calls herself an ordinary person with extraordinary curiosity. Guy Fieri calls her "the Marcinator." They're total opposites, and they're buddies. She is the yin, he is the yang. She is the Giants and the 49ers, he is the A's and the Raiders. She drives a Chrysler mini-van, he drives a Corvette, a big-block Chevelle and anything else that goes fast. She is a Mac, he is a PC. You get the picture.

It was the moment I learned that beef comes from cows. My young brain couldn't process this information-why would anyone eat the cute Holsteins I watched down the street as they lazily chomped grass?

	JON'S JERKY What was Jon thinking? Fast-forward several months and someone tells me Krave jerky is jumping off the rack, Sebastiani is selling bags by the thousands, it's already in more than 1,000 retail outlets, including Sonoma Market. Are they all crazy? STORY: DAVID BOLLING PHOTOS: ROBBI PENGELLY

JON'S JERKY

What was Jon thinking? Fast-forward several months and someone tells me Krave jerky is jumping off the rack, Sebastiani is selling bags by the thousands, it's already in more than 1,000 retail outlets, including Sonoma Market. Are they all crazy?
