    Shucks, I know all three authors in the Culinary History division:

    Culinary History: “Dying on the Vine: How Phylloxera Transformed Wine” (Author: George Gale; Editor: Blake Edgar; Publisher: University of California Press); “High on the Hog” (Author: Jessica Harris; Editor: Kathy Belden; Publisher: Bloosmbury USA); “Turning the Tables: Restaurants and the Rise of the American Middle Class, 1880-1920” (Author: Andrew P. Haley; Editor: Mark Simpson-Vos; Publisher: University of NC Press)

    And Geo, you are the first one on the list.

    I hosted Andrew Haley in January for his talk on tipping.

    Food and Beverage Reference/Technical: “The Art of Beef Cutting” (Author: Kari Underly; Editor: Christine McKnight; Publisher; John Wiley & Sons)

    Kari butchered a side of beef for Greater Midwest Foodways's Beef symposium a few years ago.

    That's so cool! Congrats Geo. Is it like American Idol--can we text in our vote?

    What's the big foofaraw? Of course your book was nominated. D'oh! We all knew/expected that. :lol: Still, congratulations are definitely in order. Well-deserved. (What I'm waiting for is story time when we all bring our blankies and have cold milk and warm chocolate chip cookies and Mr. Geo comes in and reads to us from his book. I'm there!

    Geo — Félicitations, mon vieux camarade!

    I've got a copy of your book and, though I'm looking forward to finding a proper chunk of time to read the whole thing, I've already poked around in it a god bit and it's a genuinely impressive piece of work! Well deserved recognition!

    Congrats, Geo! It must feel great to get such affirmation of your hard work.

    Thanks so much for all the kind words, mes amis u. Kollegen! I'll let you know how it ends up.

    And C2, the fact that you know and have interacted with all three of us in the History category just shows that you're pretty much located smack-dab at Ground Zero in culinary history! :D
