Jon Frankel

Jon is one of my favorite writers. We went to high school together in Larchmont, N.Y. He is a poet, novelist, reader of everything and a great cook. When Jon writes about food I go crazy. Read his latest post on steamers here.

In high school Jon read everything. As a kid who had been severely restricted to approved reading material, I was inspired. His mom Marge was an amazing lady too. She let me hide out in their big house when I was running away from home. I remember thinking that one of the window fans in the house had "gone crazy" but it was the neighbor starting up his helicopter to commute to NYC, 17 miles away.
