Josh Ozersky was a meat man. He knew meat, revered it, studied it, sang it, evangelized it, wrote about it, and, of course, ate it. Lots of it. Life, for Josh, was meat, and writing. Everything else was a side.
I'm a salami writer. I try to write good salami, but salami is salami.

If you ran a delicatessen store, you would want to be the best delicatessen store, wouldn't you? Well, that's how I feel about the Yankees.
I can't think of a specific meal, but my favourite country for food has got to be France. I love those restaurants in the middle of the village squares.
Bologna is a deli meat for people with eyes.
Long live sausage! Long live salami! Long live pork, coppa, and pancetta!
I've got a lot of ham in me.
I love any type of cheese, preferably on a large board with a glass of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
All chefs have pictures of food in their phones, stuffed pig's ears and pigs' heads and the like.
I can never resist the good stuff: salami, pepperoni, you name it. I love it all.
