Edie Jarolim: Writer, Editor, Dog Slave

The bees are visiting the candy market for the same reason you are: to sample… Mexican sweets. Unless you’ve dabbed on eau de caramel, you’re not going to enter their radar.

About

Edie Jarolim has worn many hats, not counting the sombrero she donned on a certain one-margarita-too-many night. She got a Ph.D. in American literature from New York University (which explains the occasional literary allusion in her restaurant reviews); worked as a senior editor for Frommers and Fodor’s travel guides (not simultaneously); and translated guidebooks from British to American English in the London office of Rough Guides (proof that the U.S. and England are indeed separated by a common tongue).After moving to Tucson, Arizona, in the early 1990s, she became a freelance writer, editor, and slave to her dog, Frankie.
