If it's true that Michael Ruhlman's The Making of a Chef is being made into a film (Ruhlman and his friend, Richard LaGravenese, just completed the scriipt), then this begs the question: "Who will play Michael Ruhlman?"
I vote for Hugh Jackman.
Who would you like to see in the role? Anyone who mentions Adam Sandler is banned for life.
Don't tell my husband, but I'd go see a movie that consisted entirely of Hugh Jackman reading excerpts from Joy of Cooking.
(yeah, he most definitely gets my vote, too!)

Hmmmm, I'd watch Hugh Jackman in anything!

Hugh would be nice, but I have to admit that Clive Owen would always get my first vote!

Hugh Jackman would work. David Tennant would be tasty too.
Can I help with casting? Please!

Tana - Happy New Year to you. I too hope we get to meet in person this year - I love YOUR blog...and small farms. And Hugh Jackman.

Wow, I love all the suggestions. Can you let Michael know that he should make sure the lead goes nude the entire movie?
Just asking.
Worth a try.
I'll shut up now.

I'm pushing for Danny DeVito, who's also a friend of Richard's (and a producer of Richard's last movie).

DeVito is WAY too old, Ruhlman. Otherwise the physical resemblance is astonishing: it's no wonder we never see you in the same room together.

I"ll cut my hair for the role (hee, hee)
Bisous! Ms. Glaze
