Ken Scrudato has been covering hotels, epicurean concerns and assorted nightlife skullduggery for BlackBook for more than a decade. An incurable music gadabout, he has also enjoyed the privilege of interviewing the estimable likes of Carla Bruni, David Bowie, Charlotte Gainsbourg, MIA and Siouxsie Sioux, amongst others. If you're nice to him, he'll buy you a glass of Bolly.
