Jane Snow, in my opinion the best food writer in BJ history, will
have shoulder replacement surgery Monday, September 18.

Quips Jane:
“I figured as soon as I gave away my shower
chair I would need one again. Anyone have one I can borrow for a couple weeks?”
In 2005, Jane also had knee replacement
surgery, like the one I had (for my right knee).
Her cookbook, “Jane Snow Cooks,” is in its umpteenth
printing.
Jane was the food writer for 25 of her 28
years at Ol’ Blue Walls and earned national awards, usually with James Beard’s
name on it (that’s the Oscar of food writing). Jane and 362 years of BJ
experience left on the same day in 2006, including Debby Stock Kiefer, Diane
Paparone Evans, Mike Needs, Sarah Vradenburg, Gloria Irwin, Mary Ethridge, Dave
Hertz and Tim Good. You could start an excellent newspaper with that staff,
even today.
Jane is married to Japanese native and sushi
chef Tony Kawaguchi, who
swept her off her feet when he hugged her into the air at his Sushi Katsu restaurant in the Merriman
Valley and said, “You’re going to be my girlfriend.” Two weeks later, they were
engaged. The next year, they were married. That was 10 years ago in April.
When a sushi chef marries a food writer you know that’s a match
made in cuisine heaven.
