Yes bentos are hot. This time, a TV reporter wants to talk to bentoists in New York City (preferably) or the NYC area. You must be willing to appear on TV, obviously. If you're interested send me an email at maki at makikoitoh com with your real name, email addy, and phone number where the reporter can reach you. (I am not disclosing what media outlet it is, but it is a legit one.) ETA: The reporter wants to talk to Americans (I guess that means, no Japanese expats...) who love to make their own bentos. (Update): Whoa that was fast. The reporter has what she was looking for, so please don't email any more. Thanks!
