Non-Cooking Food Jobs

[DanCole42]

So my job in marketing and corporate strategy, while lucrative, is getting a bit tiresome (at least at my current place of employment).

I like to cook, but have no desire to work the hours of a professional chef, and food writers are a dime a dozen. I have a mortgage and a wife, so going back to school or starting at the bottom isn't really an option.

Can anyone suggest a career in the DC area where my skills in marketing and corporate strategy would mesh well with my passion for food (and that pays well)?

Even better, is anyone hiring?

I have always thought the wine business is interesting. Whether working for a distributor or a retail operation, it would combine my love of wine with something that is always changing. I know some people in wine retail who have given up what seemed to be lucarative jobs to work in a wine store. And of course the trips to Burgundy help a lot.

PR firms that specialize in restaurants or other food endeavors? I am sure that WF has work in that area.
