“We should know. As citizens of the world, we should know what came before. How we got here. Why we do things the way we do them. Where are our food comes from. We should know what it was like for our humble predecessors, sweating and struggling in unrefrigerated larders, unventilated kitchens, the septic mad-house and twisting, low ceilinged subcellars of restaurants past. We should remember the way it felt, scraping potatoes into a garbage-strewn floor, scrubbing grease-caked pots with cold water, bending to the will of crazed and increasingly parsimonious masters. And we should understand not just how much has change, but how much has stayed the same: the character of the business we have chosen as a lifestyle -- the way people who do what we do have endured, have learned, have risen and learned to love this thing of ours.”
