Happy Father’s Day! Unfortunately, we don’t have any father/son skÃ¥l shots (except this one)

Dave and Dax Arnold. My older son Booker is too big to skoal!

so we decided to do a food media extravaganza instead.

First, for a master of all media:

David Rosengarten. Author, journalist, TV personality. Did Taste, does the Rosengarten Report, etc., etc. Learned to skål at his house in Iceland.

Now, for the real power behind food tv:

In the land of print we have newspapers:

and magazines:

  1. Nice Father’s Day skoal, Dave. I’d be interested in a solo, non-alcoholic Booker skoal.

  5. love the Dave/Dax Skoal!! Happy Father’s day! So do i get to skoal after i graduate tomorrow??

  8. Perhaps it could be considered as sacrilegious to the teaching of Mr. Von Sidow, but it could be interesting to take a picture of people “skoaling” with LN Frozen Aquavit Espuma…

  9. Hey completely unrelated to this post but I was hoping to probe your minds a bit more on gum arabic/xantham gum. I’m playing around with an idea for a “bubblegum” cocktail and have some questions. Is there an email address someone can be reached at?
