Her "Talk of the Town" column continues, "Why not? Writer Tom Chiarella goes on and on about the appetizer's sinus-clearing horseradish sauce in the March issue of Esquire magazine. Chiarella, in case you didn't know, is also a novelist and a professor of English at DePauw University in Greencastle."
