“Food kind of brought us together,” says chef and financier Gene Straub of meeting his wife Janneke.
To be fair, music and the City of Lights also played a role in the Larchmont Village couple’s romance.
While Janneke lived in the French capital, Gene’s route to Paris was a circuitous one, starting on the East Coast of the U.S.
“In 1987 I was on Wall Street. I worked at E.F. Hutton for three wonderful months,” Gene recalls. His dream of being a commodities trader was cut short when the stock market crashed.
He moved to Chicago and worked in finance at both PBS and at Hyatt for seven years, when he decided it was time to pursue his other dream the one he put on hold to appease his father.

WASHINGTON When marine biologist Stuart Sandin talks about sharks, it sounds like he’s describing Jedis of the ocean. “They are terrific predators, fast swimmers and they have amazing senses they can detect any disturbance in the ocean from great distance,” such as smells or tiny changes in water currents.
Their ability to quickly sense anything outside the norm in their environment helps them find prey in the vastness of the open ocean. But it also makes them especially vulnerable in the face of increased international fishing pressure, as global fishing fleets have doubled since 1950.

When marine biologist Stuart Sandin talks about sharks, it sounds like he s describing Jedis of the ocean. They are terrific predators, fast swimmers and they have amazing senses they can detect any disturbance in the ocean from great distance, such as smells or tiny changes in water currents.

But it also makes them especially vulnerable in the face of increased international fishing pressure, as global fishing fleets have doubled since 1950. You drop a fishing line in the open ocean, and often it s sharks that are there first whether or not they re the primary target, said Sandin, who works at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
