A Hamburger Today

Friend of AHT Fred Schwarz emailed us with this heads-up. —The Mgmt.

Here’s the opening paragraph from an interview with Norah Jones in the March issue of Blender (not available online as far as I can tell):

Norah Jones could really go for a hamburger. Nestled in an armchair in a downtown Manhattan recording studio on a wintry afternoon, she has a craving no mere soy substitute can satisfy. "I’ve been on a health kick lately," she says, patting her tummy. "Right now I’m trying to make tofu taste good. But I love me some burgers. I used to live over by this place Corner Bistro, in the West Village? Man, that’s a damn good burger. I’d end up there at four in the morning, really, really drunk. You don’t even remember it till you wake up the next morning—like, why do I smell like onions?”

As a bonus, Mr. Schwarz wrote us a little Norah Jones–burger limerick:

There once was a singer named Norah
Who said, "I could surely go for a
Yummy burger. Bean curd
Tastes completely absurd
And I'm so tired of vegetable pakora.

Thanks, Fred!
