I'm really not the chef!

Earlier today, I received a voicemail at my work number from an employee of one of the Michael Mina restaurants. He needed to discuss an important matter with the chef, and of course, he thought that I was the chef. He left a callback number, so I felt compelled to call him back, even though he was in another state.

I explained that I wasn't the chef, and I wondered how he got my phone number. Apparently, one of the hotels near him told him that they looked for the number and found it on http://www.michaelmina.com/. I didn't ask what the hotel had to do with anything, and the previously mentioned web site does not have my work number, although my own web site, http://michaelmina.info/, does.

Here's a video of chef Michael Mina and his restaurant in San Francisco.



I better hurry up and finish my novel so I can have some of that fame and fortune. That way, after my appearance on Oprah, people can call him and tell him how they loved his novel. If only they could find his phone number....
