A typical magazine profile begins with the subject being interviewed over dinner, so here’s Malika Taalbi (TM ’05) at Pürstner restaurant in the heart of Vienna, Austria’s historic Innere Stadt. There is an absurdly large portion of Wiener schnitzel, nearly as wide as the plate, on the table in front of her, and a Pilsner-style beer in a glass practically as tall as the spire on the Stephansdom cathedral that towers over the city a couple of streets north of here.
