Synopsis
Many people have predicted that she'll never eat lunch in this town again. But as "Lunch With" proves each week, there's always another unsuspecting celebrity ready to break bread with columnist Jan Wong.
Now's your chance to dine with her while she dishes, disses and dissects the likes of Suzanne Somers, Jeffrey Archer, Margaret Trudeau, Dr. Ruth, Preston Manning, Atom Egoyan, Don Cherry, Margaret Atwood, Mordecai Richler, Bryan Adams, Sarah Polley, Eartha Kitt, Helen Gurley Brown and many more, in sixty of her funniest, most trenchant, often barbed and occasionally moving "Lunch With" columns.
With an introduction on the lunching phenomenon, some appetizing background on arranging the interviews, and (for dessert) some reactions from readers and guests, this compilation is a deliciously wicked treat from start to finish.

About the Author
Over the past three years in her tremendously successful "Lunch With" columns, Jan Wong has been able to combine two things she loves: good food and a good story. An award-winning journalist, she's always willing to ask the questions no one else would ask to get at the story that her subjects don't want told. She is also the author of two phenomenally successful books - Red China Blues and Jan Wong's China. She lives with her family in Toronto, where she is currently a reporter and columnist for The Globe and Mail.
