Sarah Royal has spent the past few years in New Jersey, New York City, and Chicago, and has absorbed a great deal of creative profanity from all three environments. She currently lives in Portland, Oregon. Jillian Panarese has worked behind the scenes in enough restaurants to have heard a smorgasbord of indignities guaranteed to keep her talking like a sailor for a lifetime. She's a damned good cook, and currently lives in Clinton, New Jersey.
