Stacey over at Contraversion links to a hilarious spread in the New York Times magazine. The picture you're looking at is not the work of some photoshop geek. That is a real tattoo on the arm of a real chef who obviously adores Alice Waters. Why? Chef Nino Mancari of Delaware's Fish On! explains: ''I wanted to do a tribute to American food...'Eventually I'll get James and Julia, and with Alice it'll be the holy trinity.''

Save space on your back for James Beard, Nino. And your ducats. You're going to be in the chair for a long time, and that's just for the bust. San Francisco's Robbie Lewis, of Jardiniere also makes the spread. Anyway, can famous chef tatts be considered for BMEZINE's Geek Tattoo page? We think they should be.
