“Turkey, as a model, is very much like a fashion magazine with fashion models. There are plump turkeys, and, I’m not kidding you, there’s skinny turkeys, there are chesty turkeys, breasty turkeys, there are flat-chested turkeys.”

"There Are Breasty Turkeys, There Are Flat-Chested Turkeys"

CJR Daily (Free subscription) | 10/26/2009

Talk about making fowl fair. In today's New York Times, Food and Wine editor Dana Cowin gives us the behind-the-scenes dish on a November-issue tradition beloved among foodie mags and their readers: the Roast Turkey As Cover Model. The poultry prettifying process--flipping the bird, as it were--is, the editor insists, a trying one. “I know...

The turkey has done what a supermodel never could: land the cover of dozens of magazines in a single month . The November covers of American food magazines are a turkey delight, with the burnished bird stuffed, garnished and splayed every which way. Dana Cowin, the editor in chief of Food & Wine, said, “I know it seems like, hey, what could be simpler than roasting a bird?...

Last night's Top Chef highlighted the love story between a chef and a pig. The contestants had to create dishes using a specific piece of pork, and then pair their creations with wine. I enjoyed seeing Dana Cowin, the editor of Food & Wine , compare Laurine's dish to cat food. Want to find out how well you were watching? Take my quiz now! Photo courtesy of Bravo Take the quiz

Top Chef redux: 'Pigs and Pinot'

Daily Dish (Free subscription) | 10/16/2009

... apparently rolling things up isn't always such a good idea. Laureen's pork shoulder rillette had Dana Cowin, editor in chief of Food & Wine magazine, thinking it was "cat food." I'm shocked she didn't get sent home. Who makes a rillette with broth instead of fat? On the opposite end of the spectrum, Kevin dominated yet another elimination challenge, proving he is the master of all...

... sort of sums up Scotts. But, there is always a plus side to any story. Two tables over from us was Dana Cowin, the editor and chief of Food and Wine magazine . Since I have literally been getting Food and Wine delivered to my house monthly for the past 25 years, I recognized her. Just to be safe, as you never know when things are out of context, I secretly googled her image under...
