Status Updates From The Restaurant of Lost Recipes

"As long as you've really poured yourself into something - whether it's your job or anything else in life - someone will always turn up to carry on where you left off."

So, the impact of WWII on the bakery was mentioned, but in a different way than I was expecting.
