Talk of the Town (34 page)

Much of TALK OF THE TOWN is based on my life and friends in Chicago, so research is a joy—I’m living it and loving it. I
especially
love sharing some of my favorite haunts, like Lulu’s—truly the finest vintage couture anywhere—and a few of
my
favorite recipes from when I cooked. Don’t miss the
Not Low Cal Triple Orgasmic Fudge Pie.
I promise it is worth every calorie. It actually won a bake-off, and my friend Ann has the first-place copper pan to prove it.
She
is truly Chicago’s most famous gossip colum nist, and at her knee, I learned to always change names to protect the guilty. Lucky for the innocent, they have nothing to hide.

I hope you enjoy this peek beneath society’s glitter and into its heart. I’d love to hear
your
secrets, so please visit me at
