Prune's Gabrielle Hamilton at Amis Industry Night April 4

We made it quite clear how much we admired Gabrielle Hamilton's memoir Blood, Bones & Butter in our Feb. 24 issue, and it's cool that Philly fans of the Prune chef/owner's book will be able to meet the author at an April 3 First Person Arts brunch at Pumpkin. Now comes word that Marc Vetri, who's been pals with Hamilton since they met at the South Beach Food & Wine Festival a few years ago, will host Hamilton at April's first-Monday-of-the-month Industry Night at Amis (412 S. 13th St.). "Anyone heading into or even thinking about heading into culinary school should have to read [Blood, Bones & Butter]," says Vetri, who's read the book twice. "It gives you an idea of what they're in store for." Early in the book, Hamilton writes in beautiful detail about the elaborate lamb roasts she and her family would organize for their friends and neighbors in nearby Lambertville; they'll recreate this meal for Industry Night attendees on April 4. So big a Blood, Bones & Butter booster is Vetri that he's actually purchased 150 copies of Hamilton's book for the event the first 150 folks through the door will receive a free copy, which they'll be able to get Hamilton to sign.

Taunt?  Sounds like they're trying to protect us.  The food industry is not for the faint-hearted.

Now they're just trying to taunt those of us who don't work in the food industry, aren't they?
