He lived for three years in both Buenos Aires, Argentina and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, covering South American politics, business, travel and culture for publications including the Globe and Mail, the Walrus, Wine Spectator, Foreign Policy, and the New Republic…not to mention a few surfing magazines. After returning to Canada in 2005 he continued writing articles, including regular pieces for Toronto Life, and contributions to Rolling Stone, GQ, American Way, and The Huffington Post. His first book, Save the Deli, will be published by McClelland and Stewart (Canada) and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (USA) in fall 2009. The book, a cultural history and travelogue of the Jewish delicatessen business, has led to the creation of David’s popular blog http://www.savethedeli.com. David recently moved to New York, where he writes for magazines such as Portfolio and New York.
