  audaciousink.wordpres.com Julia Child: Nicer in the kitchen than she was to gays?​Getting tired of all the Julie & Julia hype? Here's something to add to the backlash files, according to SFist: Cooking matriarch Julia Child may have had a tendency to be -- shall we say? -- not so nice to gay people.According to the story, which refers to an article published by Boston in 2007 called "Just a Pinch of Prejudice," Child was known to refer to gays as pedal, pedalo, fags, and the th

• For One Critic, Watching 'Julie & Julia' Launches an Intensely Personal Journey

  Sony PicturesFlipping for Julia: Streep as the French food maven at the Cordon Bleu in Paris.​I was thrilled when I arrived at the Century last Friday, opening day of Julia & Julia, to see a long line outside the theater. San Francisco foodies, represent! Except when I found out they were waiting for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. I meekly took my ticket and walked in. My excitement wasn't just generalized food-film lust. Sure, I like writer-director Nora Ephron and Julie Powell, whose boo

  Worth the Whisk/FlickrAll the rich, beefy goodness, with none of the clean up.​Ignore all those pundits who tell you not to go see Julie & Julia when you're hungry. You can indulge both your movie-going appetite and the one the film will stir up for Julia Child's famous boeuf bourguignon at the same time. And you won't even have to rush home and carefully dry off the meat to ensure its proper browning, as demonstrated in the movie at least three times. Through the end of August, the Gran

• Despite Snark from Critics, Julia's Books are Suddenly Must-Haves

  Rakka/FlickrYou're not alone.​When Chelsea Handler told a panel of comedians on Chelsea Lately that ABC News was reporting that Julia Child's memoir My Life in France and some of her other books are "flying off the shelves because of the new movie Julie & Julia," the invective flew thick and fast. "It's a movie about a lady who cooks things from a cookbook and then blogs about it," said Guy Branum, identified in supered type as "comedian/staff homosexual". "What's next, a movie about a guy

• Julia Child Impersonator to Roam This Weekend's Fabulous Food Fest

  Courtesy Larsen AssociatesNice try, Meryl: Carly Ozard as Julia.​Last year's inaugural Fabulous Food Festival was underwhelming, more akin to a holiday craft fair than a place for epicurean discovery. However, this year's edition should prove more interesting, if only because of Julia Child impersonator Carly Ozard, who will roam the festival landscape and hopefully whisk the crowd into shape. Whether she'll dispense advice and recipes straight from Child's considerable book catalog is unknown
