We also wanted to chat with her about her ink obsession on the heels of her latest tat session which we sat in on. Continue reading

Last night Rich Rogers, cheesemonger and owner of Scardello, rolled out the red carpet and polished the house silver as he hosted his first guest-chef dinner at the cheese boutique.
