Hello, everyone out there in Fat City. I'm the new guy, Jonathan Bender.
Over the past several weeks, Owen and Charles have subjected me to
rigorous tests involving baked beans and tomato basil soup. So far my
stomach and I have survived.
I'm an East Coast transplant,
having married into the city of fountains -- but with a father from
Chicago, I've been raised with an appreciation for deep dish pizza and
the proper way to dress a hot dog.
Since moving to the city
just over two years ago, I've been delighted to discover that life
beyond barbecue exists. At the same time, I appear to be working my way
slowly through a whole pig based on the variety of pork-based dishes
I've had in town. Thankfully, a family membership in a
community-supported agriculture program means I won't get scurvy.
At some point I'll hold office hours with free tater tots, but until then you can always reach me by e-mail or through my cubemate -- gigantic turkey sub:

Good to have you, Jonathan. Between LEGOS and Eggos, sounds like you have your hands full.
Welcome Jonathon!
Your credentials seem impeccable, except for that hot dog thing. The dressing part is right, but until Chicago starts grilling the dogs, I'm skeptical that Chi Town will ever live up to our epicurean standards.
But heck, you just might make it here anyway. Especially if you can marry the love of food with Savage Love.
Thanks for the tips everybody, I look forward to meeting the readers of Fat City.
You need to quickly cultivate the Fat City blogger attitude best expressed by doing something completely inappropriate and saying "F... you, I'm Jonathan from the Pitch, I do what I want".
