Grace In Asia

ELV Readers: One of our favorite food writers: Grace “It’s Filipino not Philipino!” Bascos, is touring Asia with her family for three weeks.

Grace Bascos On New York Radio

And speaking of attractive food writers….Las Vegas freelancer Grace (The Filipino Flash) Bascos was interviewed on WOR Radio in New York this week — by Arthur (Mr. Buffet ) Frommer, and his daughter Pauline. He was more interested in asking about the cost of everything, but Bascos, does an admirable job of mentioning our town’s multitude of culinary offerings — from L’Atelier to the Aureole wine tower to the small bites at RAKU to the boring buffets Arthur was obsessing on. Here’s the link to her interview. Scroll down the right side of the page to the “Travel” segments of the program, and listen in.

Way to go Bascos!
