My Craigslist Ad




Professional and internationally trained chef will trade kimchi for luxury items.

The kimchi can be made in varying degrees of spiciness and will be made with organics and free-trade ingredients that support poor people in under-developed countries, dirty hippies working on WWOOF farms, and other small farms and farmer's markets in the greater Miami area.

I am not interested in Seiko watches, Waterman pens, ghetto bling, paintings by anyone living, tie clips, or cuff links (unless there are considerable blood diamonds festooned to them).

What I AM interested in is TAG Heuer and Technomarine, Mont Blanc and David Oscarson, Wedgewood china and Riedel glassware, maybe some Louis XIII cognac to go in the glasses, whatever... You decide.

This is not an offer that will last long. There are plenty of nasty divorce disputes, high-class moguls who appreciate fine kimchi, and people who simply scour Craigslist for opportunities to blow huge wads of cash.

So stop staring slack-jawed at your monitor and send me your best offer.

The Girard-Perregaux is ticking . . . . . . . . .

Your pictures on Flicker are awesome! I was on the hunt for a Technomarine watch and it brought me to your page. Food and photography.. hmm. So were you able to get a watch for your kimchi?
