When I find a cooking blog that I like, I enjoy taking a moment to read the author’s “About Me” page. Some of the pages include vast descriptions of the blogger’s life. Others include only a few passing phrases, sometimes leaving the reader with more questions than answered. Some pages have yet to even change the default setting from wordpress.
One of the things that I’ve noticed, in looking over the “About Me” pages, is that there seems to be a much larger number of lawyers with cooking blogs than say doctors or businessmen. It amazes me how often I find a lawyer behind a food blog or a cooking show or a burgeoning cupcake business. The Zagats, the couple behind the restaurant surveys, started their professional careers in large law firms. And most recently, one of my good friends quit his law firm job of a few years to start his own restaurant business.
Which begs the question: is there any particular reason lawyers seem more attracted to cooking than their confreres in medicine and business?
Being a lawyer…
