“Prior to co-founding Cookthink, Chip was the head cheesemaker at Westfield Farm, the award-winning artisan cheese company in central Massachusetts.
Before his career in cheese, Chip worked a series of editorial jobs, including a stint as a regular food writer for the San Francisco Examiner. He also worked as a development hack for Dogstar Films, the company responsible for such quality entertainments as 200 Cigarettes and Pushing Tin.
Some highlights from Chip’s life in food: his dad’s legendary “Brantley breakfast,” the summer he worked in the kitchen at Frank Stitt’s Highlands Bar & Grill, and the phone call he had with Julia Child in the summer of 2001. For the past decade, he has worked as a freelance food and culture writer, contributing to such publications as Slate, the Boston Globe, the Oxford American and Gastronomica. His book about the pluot and its creator Floyd Zaiger will be published by Bloomsbury in 2008.
A native of Alabama, Chip now lives in western Massachusetts with his wife Elizabeth, their son Angus, and their one-eyed cat, Evangeline. Email him at chip [at] cookthink.com.” (Source: Cookthink)
