This was a piece recently done for Time Out Chicago's Eat Out section. The article was about a roundtable discussion with critics, chefs and bloggers discussing multiple issues. I was told that the chefs are now starting their own blogs in order to have a forum to respond to critics. Apparently these tend get heated, and people respond to specifics, and there's lots of trash talk and back and forth etc...
This was the final, a little mix of culinary guerilla warfare and critic-blogger droids caught up in the cyclical nature of these virtual discussions. I only had an overview of the article to work off of, but Mike Novak (TOC Art Director) did a great job of conveying what it was that they were looking for. The full article and illustration can be viewed here.

The olive oil cocktail is brilliant!
Yeah, the olive oil firebomb is brilliant. I would love to see what happens next
I could imagin the battle, At some point I worked in a restaurant and the chefs were mental, thowing with plates, harrasing staff members etc But they where always nice to me, posible because I had the key to the drinks
thanks for the comments guys! anytime i can work a flaming cocktail in i definitely try too.
