The Brontë cheeseburguer

The Independent lists the top 50 newsmakers of 2006. Among them we find Jane Tranter:

No crisis, just great drama

Was made controller of BBC Fiction in October. She is responsible for drama and comedy commissioning, programme acquisitions and BBC films. From 2000 to 2006, she was controller of drama commissioning on BBCs 1, 2, 3 and 4. Commissions during that time included Shakespeare, Rome, Jane Eyre, Life on Mars, Bleak House, Hotel Babylon, Robin Hood, Doctor Who, Bodies, Torchwood, Blackpool, Casanova and Spooks. She joined the BBC in 1985 as a secretary.

In The Cincinnati Enquirer we have found an article about the Brontë Bistro in the Joseph-Beth's Bookstore in Cincinnati. They also have another Brontë Bistro in their Charlotte bookstore (where else?). But what we have found funny is this dish on the menu:

The Brontë Cheeseburguer
Jane Eyre couldn’t handle this one!
Fresh ground beef served on a toasted kaiser roll with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and a side of roasted red potatoes.

And on Tempusfugit you can follow the evolution of the Brontë samplers that we reported previously.
