Before it’s Gone
If you have the good fortune of having brief but beautiful experiences in restaurants, be grateful. Be kind to those who serve you; if you want great, local restaurants, support them. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears go into restaurants, and without community support, these spaces can quickly vanish before you know it. I always feel a bit gutted when I see a closed sign over the windows of a restaurant that I enjoyed.

The imagination we need to cultivate right now is one where we can see ourselves supporting our farmers, producers, artists, academics, builders, teachers, and other countries in the world. We do this out of hope and love, not out of anger or the intent to destroy something else.
