“It is the connection between customer and purveyor that makes our interactions stronger, to me eating well is not just about what tastes good but about the connections that are made through the food itself. I am hardly saying anything new by stating that our links to food have practically disappeared between sheets of plastic wrap but what are also disappearing are the wonderful vital human connections that we make when we buy something we love to eat from someone who loves to sell it, who bought it from someone who loves to grow it, catch it, or raise it. Whether we know it or not, great comfort is found in these relationships and they are very much a part of what solidifies a community.”
― Stanley Tucci, Taste: My Life Through Food
