Four years ago, Dr. Lou Robbins found a mug shot and started collecting original images from the dark side of the food world. He found bartenders, cooks, and waiters who had been pushed over the edge and were accused of murder, theft, pimping and pandering, and drunken and disorderly conduct.

Now he presents his collection for the first time to the public in his show “Food Industry Mug Shots 1899-1954”, which opens Friday at Rabelais Books in Portland, Maine. Via

The high-profile line-up for issue #3 includes seven interviews of Milton Glaser, Sir Paul Smith, Tom Dixon, Keith Schofield, Tom Gauld and Maisie Broadhead. Further articles include Geoff McFetridge, Ken Garland, Johan Lofgren, Keetra Dean Dixon, Dan Germain and Michael Marriott.
