Help Wanted: A Cocktail and Wine Writer

Anne Fishbein
Cocktails at ink.
Do you love to explore the cocktail, spirits and wine scene in Los Angeles? Do you love to talk to your bartender about not just your messy private life, but about obscure spirits, current trends, secret recipes and how exactly he made that illegal still he's got in his Echo Park basement? And most of all, can you write about it? We're looking for a cocktail and wine writer, as our intrepid columnist Patrick Comiskey is taking time off from the job to, well, write. (A book. Stop reading this and get back to your manuscript, Patrick!)

If you're interested in the job, which is a freelance gig, please send a cover letter and some writing samples to me at ascattergood@laweekly. The ideal candidate should be able to file a few times a week, take really great pictures, and should not currently be employed by any local bars, bartenders, mixologists or beverage companies. The ability to write entertaining and well-reported prose while drunk is an added bonus.

If you've always wanted to be part of a local farmers market, here's your chance. Hang out with farmers, learn about where your food comes from, stalk local chefs FAR more efficiently, shop early for your Santa Rosa plums and breakfast radishes and ridiculously cool melons while the marine layer rolls in off the nearby Pacific -- all while you do a little good work. How?

a probably non-magical apple pie
In what may be the greatest help wanted ad of all time, a group from Scotland advertises on Craigslist for an executive chef. But not just any chef. Here's just a taste, from the amazing 1,500-word fantasy novel-cum-help wanted ad:

Can you make boneless chicken crispers that are so firm, juicy, and succulent that when they are consumed they reaffirm a person's belief in a higher power? Do your fried mozzarella cheese sticks stretch on for days and days and when blended with their marinara counterpart, create an esculent symphony of flavor?... Does the way that you season your mouthwatering French Fries create a perfect bond of union with your gourmet cheeseburger forming a mouthful of matrimonial bliss? Does the way that you make an apple pie transport a person back in time to their grandmother's kitchen? Can you make an omelet so tasty and fluffy that it makes the person eating it feel as though she is enjoying a heavenly cloud of sumptuousness?
