About Michael Tucker
I’ve been an actor for about forty years and a writer for half as many. I have worked in theater, TV and movies - in New York, California and many points in between. I’m married to the actress Jill Eikenberry – thirty-eight years this June – and we now divide our time between New York and Italy, where we have a house nestled among the olive trees in Umbria. I’ve written three books, all of which have food and drink prominently involved. The first is “I Never Forget a Meal” which explains itself; “Living In a Foreign Language” about our house in Italy; and “Family Meals”, a book about how our family turned into Italians around the crisis of Jill’s mother’s decline into dementia. There’s a lot of food in that one, too.-

I DREAM OF UMBRIA
Around the first of June, we’ll fly to our house in Italy for the summer, but until then I’ll just close my eyes and dream about Umbria in the spring. The poppies are starting to pop right about now and our whole neighborhood looks like the road to Oz. Continue reading

The Passover seder have never been my thing. It’s not for religious reasons; it’s just a long, bad meal that’s always been more of an obligation than a desire. Continue reading
WORKING WIFE

Los Tres Muchachos Corpulentos re-assembled themselves this past Tuesday on the sidewalks of Astoria, Queens, NY for their first full-frontal assault on lunch since my blog post of November, 2010, when they lunched at Trattoria L’Incontro. Continue reading
