Food Network: Online interview with the Amateur Gourment
By Jennifer 8. Lee | April 22, 2008
Here is an episode of FN Dish, the Food Network’s edgier online cousin, hosted by Adam Roberts of the Amateur Gourmet.
Adam and I went to New York City’s Chinatown and eat my favorite buffet place on Grand Street between Chrystie and Bowery: $4 for five items! He tried pigs heart (his Jewish grandmother rolling over in her grave). This is Chinese buffet for Chinese people, not Chinese buffet for Americans.
Also on the episode, Alton Brown’s biggest fans get to meet him at a book signing

Amazon ranking #8×8
By Jennifer 8. Lee | March 16, 2008
So this was a couple of days ago (on the Tuesday, March 11), where a nice convergence of the tail end of Colbert and a favorable write-up in the New York Times Book Review sent it up to #64 (which my friend Shawn noted is 8-squared) for part of the day.

Breaking Amazon’s #100 barrier
By Jennifer 8. Lee | March 8, 2008
Yes. I obsess about my Amazon ranking, like every new author does. It’s like watching a stock ticker, which updates every hour (if you are in the top 1,000?) and every day otherwise. (My dad obsesses too, once I told him there was something to watch. We are very goal-oriented people), Today, just now, The Fortune Cookie Chronicles broke the 100 barrier into two-digit territory. My friend Pawel was here to see me cheer. I took a screenshot because I have no idea if it is going to last.
