Olga Meunière

This is Olga Meunière from Ostende, Western Flanders, Belgium as I met her munching a sandwich on Corso del Orso in Florence, the other day. She is the sweetest kid you ever want to meet, great sense of humor and a bright sunny disposition. Olga has three passions: travel and food and food. She lived in many places in Europe and cooked and eat her way through lots of diverse cuisines,  a regular Anthony Bourdain female clone if you wish (of whom Olga is the greatest fan). She is a great eater ... and I mean great, persistent, continuous and passionate ... rarely you see her without food in her hand or close by. Once, she went to the Universita di Pavia, Medical Centre to take part in a study of who eats and does not get fat ... the doctors were puzzled and could not explain the quantity of food she would eat without gaining one gram. The best time of her life was when she lived in Paris and met Vincent, a tall, dark, handsome American who lived on a diet of milkshakes and cheeseburgers (which he insisted to call "Royale with Cheese"). He became her boyfriend and they were very happy until, one day, Vincent got a phone call from California, packed up and left the next day. Olga never heard from him again and never had another burger (cheese or not) ever.
