Publisher's Note - October 2014

One of my favorite things about publishing The Buzz is meeting neighbors at photo shoots, and this was an especially fun month. When my football-fan wife and Buzz editor Joni Hoffman and I arrived at Chandel and Charles Hancock’s house for the New Orleans Saints' opening game, the smell of gumbo made our mouths water. One by one, neighbors arrived, until the house was full of boisterous Houstonians that the Hancocks had converted, at least for the day, into Saints fans. This month, we also met a 10-year-old LSU fan, nicknamed “Tiger Girl,” and her parents, as well as 10 really fun St. John’s School moms who started a fantasy football league so they could keep in touch and have an excuse to text during games. In addition, I am pleased to introduce our new Cooking Buzz column, produced in partnership with The Junior League of Houston. This month’s column is all about tailgating recipes. Can you sense a theme here? I told you my wife was a football fan. [email protected]
