About Us

Cork & Knife is a multimedia magazine committed to covering fine dining, both in restaurants and at home.  Utilizing a variety of formats, we are focused on those who enjoy fine food and spirits and enthusiastic home cooks.  We do not focus on reviews and recipes, but rather seek to highlight interesting people, important trends, and fascinating stories.

Chefs, sommeliers, maitres d'hotel, servers, cooks, bartenders, runners, busboys, dishwashers, managers, and restaurateurs all make a difference in the dining out experience.  And when you or your friends try to recreate that experience at outside of a restaurant environment, the purveyor, fishmonger, butcher, retailer, wine shop proprietor, cookbook author, cheesemaker, and of course the home chef shape the outcome of the experience.

There are plenty of web sites, magazines, newspaper columns, and TV shows devoted to restaurant reviews and recipes.  But Cork & Knife is about the people.  Here you will find individual and team profiles. There will be news about who's doing what and where.  You can expect audio and video interviews with interesting people.  And we will even take a look at the food media itself because they have a significant -- if indirect -- impact on your experience at fine dining restaurants and fine amateur dining at home. 

The philosophy and personality of individuals create the atmosphere, menu, wine list, and product selection.  Cork & Knife will explore how these people got to be where they are today and perhaps give a hint as to where they are headed.
