If our dear readers will allow a holiday indulgence in the spirit of the feast, we’ll admit a humdinger of a crush on Sam Talbot, current Top Chef contestant and former Lower East Side pushcart vendor. This Saturn-ruled specimen is a self-styled socialist, with a blog to match. How totally swoon-worthy. Socially-conscious hotness meets passionate man that cooks. For a LIVING. Had I known they made men this way anymore, I would have wasted less time.
Sam’s 29th birthday is just a month or so away, and it appears as if he’ll spend his Saturn Return in the spotlight. Will he win the title of Top Chef? I predict yes, but with his Saturn at 0 degrees of Virgo, the next two years should prove full of challenges around staying spiritually connected in the midst of overscheduling. He’ll need to find time for himself. (I hope that doesn’t interfere with cooking breakfast in bed for me.) For all you kids born between November of 1977 and September of 1980, you’re up next for a Saturnian sojourn.
And while we’re on the subject of things to be thankful for, the Democratic sweep of Congress takes the cake and the Tofurkey, too.
PS —
In the department of karmic coincidences, let it be noted that Sam and I were interviewed by Gothamist merely a year apart. Is this a match made in heaven, or what?
