Food Stamp Food Critic.... um... really?

excerpted

A butcher shared with me the advice his dairy-farmer father fed him:

Stay in the food business and you will always eat.

I've worked in the food business for a good chunk of my life — first in my parents' restaurants, then as a food writer and restaurant critic, followed by post-culinary-school stints as a baker and food-marketing consultant, then again as a restaurant critic, and, until this past fall, as publisher of my own website that promoted restaurants and culinary events.

Today, I eat on the fringe of the food business, hungry for work and living on the dole, one of 6 million Americans whose sole source of income is food stamps.
