Spatchcock

By Michael Procopio

Food stories. Mostly. Many with dead celebrity cameos.

Michael Procopio is a dazzling writer about food and life; and his life seems to have involved a series of food-related encounters with some very well known people most of whom appear to be barking mad, sad or deliciously bad. If this is what he can write about, fuck only knows what has to be withheld for legal reasons. 'Spatchcock' is a funny, wry, irreverent, exquisitely observed and often moving newsletter deserves a lot more attention. You should subscribe!
