Bento lunch news

1. Request from Southern U.S. journalist
I got an e-mail from a magazine journalist looking to do a story on bento lunches in the U.S. South. The journalist would like to interview people in the South who make bento lunches, as well as a Southern chef who can speak about bentos. If you fit the description and would like to be interviewed for the article, please e-mail me at lunchinabox (AT] gmail (DOT} com and I’ll put you in touch. Cheers!
2. Bento lunches in the media
The [1] St. Petersburg Times newspaper ran an article on bento lunches last week that quoted recent guest poster [2] Amorette Dye and me, as well as Lunch in a Box reader Sabrina Berger. Sabrina replied to a [3] request for a Tampa Bay area bento-maker that I posted last month — I’m pleased to see that the article turned out nicely for her!
I’m also going to be on [4] New Hampshire Public Radio’s (NHPR) Word of Mouth program this morning (Monday 9/15/2008) at 12:43 pm Eastern. If your local NPR station doesn’t run the show, it should be up on their website afterwards. (UPDATE: [5] Here’s the link to the show podcast.) My first [6] live TV appearance about American-style bento on the local Fox40 morning news went pretty well; I’ll be [7] posting more about it this week with photos.
3. Bento haiku contest at Lunch Bucket Bento
Lisa at the Lunch Bucket Bento blog is running a [8] Haiku that Blog! contest for the best haiku about a specific blog detailed at the link, with the prize being a Parasite Pals bento box and bag. The deadline is October 1, 2008, so about two weeks from now. (I keep an updated list of current lunch-packing contests and blog events at my [9] Lunch Blog Events page.)
