COLD OPEN today, on our visit with Mary Bilyeu, formerly of the Blade, now with my friends at Jewish Federation.

I'm a time snob. She is 10 minutes late.

Mary is going nuts, in a good way, over a Jewish cook book she's working through. Corned beef on rye, bagels, kugel, blintzes and more!

What some spring/summer food trends to look forward to.

Mary's new job has allowed her to regrow some brain matter since she doesnt have to be wired in all the time now.
