Author Wini Moranville will visit the Knoxville Public Library tonight.

Moranville will be talking about her career as a food critic, author, and her new book called “Love is my Favorite Flavor”. In a career that has spanned nearly fifty years, Wini Moranville has witnessed the American restaurant landscape transform from the inside out.. Moranville’s hands-on experiences weave a tapestry of the American restaurant landscape in the 1970s and 1980s. In the mid-1990s, the tables turned as Moranville became a food and wine writer for national publications, as well as the dining critic for the Des Moines Register and dsm Magazine. Moranville tells KNIA/KRLS she is excited for her opportunity to visit Knoxville.

“Anybody who is curious about what it was like to review restaurants or things like that, I love to give a peak behind the curtain and talk about the joys and also the pitfalls. I do enjoy that. I will read a little bit from the book but I will definitely open it up to questions so if anyone is curious to what that was like and just food writing in general I would love to talk to them. I think it will be a really fun night.”

The event will start at 6:00 pm and is open to the public. Hear from Moranville on today’s Let’s Talk Knoxville.
