3- On Patrol with Chris Cognac and Jean Claude Dhien

Hey everybody!
I'm having a blast in California.

Last night I was on patrol with Sgt. Chris Cognac and Jean Claude Dhien. You might know Chris Cognac from his Food Network show The Hungry Detective or recognize him from his appearances as a judge on Iron Chef America. Oh, and he was in Season 1 of Feasting on Asphalt. The busy guy also writes for his local paper and has a website called The Culinary Detective. And, this week, you can catch Chris as a participant on the new NBC gameshow Amne$ia.

Jean Claude Dhien has been the photographer for Seasons 1 and 2 of Feasting on Asphalt and his photos will be available in the new book Feasting on Asphalt:The River Run, due in book stores around March 26th. I hear that he's also a trained chef, too.

(No, Wanda, I didn't drink any of his fancy French wine.
But, I did make fun of his French accent just a little bit. )

Jean Claude is really talented - please don't judge the quick shot above. We just used Chris' phone for that one. Hopefully, I'll be able to share some nicer photos in a few days.

And, with any luck, Chris and JC will write up some fun stories from patrolling.

It was good hanging out with the guys :)
OK, I'm off to Chicago next!
To meet the real AB.

My kinda town, Chicago is.
