A Reflection of Truth

I thought I had stockpiled a limited amount of knowledge of food, wine and the restaurant and bar businesses, but parlayed with my hospitality/advertising experience, I had buffaloed my way into the peachy job of restaurant critic on a four-minute television segment known as “Time to Dine” on WWAC-TV 53’s Friday Night Evening News Broadcast.
My show didn’t even last their full last broadcast season ‘due to budget restrictions', but the unconfirmed possibility exists that my alcoholism was strongly in the picture.
Although it is true that I had had no prior broadcast experience in front of the camera, it is the emotional truth, the alcoholic truth, that I want to get at here....
