Cooking itself is an expression of a worldview. What ethics are you applying to your work? What is the context & morality of your cuisine?

We can no longer tolerate using Incarceration to mask our societal issues. Instead of facing that we have a housing issue, public education issue, a mental health issue, we have decided to incarcerate instead. This is the year to say no to the failure called Mass Incarceration.

I am thankful for the Native American/First Nations and their thousands of years old genius for food and agricultural domestication that has so richly blessed the human family.
Sol 1430 since the event. Survivability is in question. Mission is compromised. Please send help. We can’t breath.

This stop-motion short is a celebration of the ocean’s shore crafted using ‘natural souvenirs’ and beachside sounds. On Aeon Video: aeon.co/videos/natural-souve…
Fear is a natural reaction to radical exceptance of the truth. Don’t be afraid, you are not crazy. You’re processing the truth and it’s so painful and dizzying and I’m telling you that you are not alone.
I just want you to know I’m thinking about you. There’s so much suffering in the air, I can smell your pain from here. And I think it’s delicious and uniquely beautiful and I can’t wait to see the art that you’ll soon make.
I take no pleasure in saying this, but to my white restauranteur peers who messaged me before to say that I was being fatalistic or antogonistic: I told you so. I literally told you this would all happen and you called me crazy.

Power is out for at least 16 sq blocks, so I’ll lose the contents of my walk-in over the weekend—about $10-15K, due to climate change & physics. And this is fine, I can adapt. But this is just the beginning of the beginning. There will be greater challenges in the coming months.
The restaurant industry has been leaned on and getting crushed for four months now, and none of the tech companies that serve us have done anything useful. Not the delivery apps, the reservation services, or the point-of-sale system providers.
If you guys are so fucking smart, then why have you not finished and refined the features we need to conduct our business and provide better take-out service? Why are we still beta-testing your half-baked software and services 4 months in?
