Coco Myers: "Picky Eater" Featured in NY Times

Writer Coco Myers appears in a Sunday New York Times article today with the title "The Picky Eater Who Came to Dinner." The article addresses dinner parties and other events where hosts adjust menus for guests with food restrictions. Featuring a photo of Myers preparing a salad in her East Hampton, NY home, the article says,

Some group-dining devotees say they are happy to adjust as the occasion demands. In April, Coco Myers, a writer who avoids gluten and lactose, invited a fish-averse friend to a dinner party in East Hampton, N.Y., hosted by a couple who don’t eat red meat. A few days earlier, the hostess (Scott O’Neil, a painter and an amateur cook, who had been planning a seafood stew) e-mailed Ms. Myers to ask about problem foods.
“Sometimes I go to dinner parties, and you just deal with what you get, right?” Ms. Myers recalled. “But she put it out there.” So she compiled a dietary no-fly list: no fish, no gluten, no lactose.
