I have a good friend who is fond of this phrase: "She was born with the words, 'Please peel me a grape,' on her lips." That could very well have been said about spicy bon vivant Gael Greene (1933- ), this week's number 46 on Gourmet Live's List of 50 Women Game-Changers in Food. Greene, the 40-year New York Magazine restaurant critic and columnist, novelist, and philanthropist from Detroit, is best known for her erotic encounters with food, as well as with the likes of Clint Eastwood and Elvis Presley. Want details? It's all (probably not) chronicled in Greene's memoir, the infamous Insatiable : Tales from a Life of Delicious Excess (Grand Central, 2007.) And while I promise I'm not telling tales out of school, you can listen to her own description of Presley as appetizer here.
