This week, I wrote a free-wheeling exploration of everything that happens in order to put bread on your table, starting with the sowing of wheat in the field.
I'm not honestly sure! I don't remember seeing one the last time I was in the area, but I've always wondered why okonomiyaki isn't more popular in the US – it seems like it should be a slam dunk here... There's a takoyaki place in the area though.
Plus: Balthazar … you’re taking me back to the New York of 1999. Kind of drives me crazy that Balthazar is still around but Souen and Once Upon a Tart are gone. Is the okonoyomiyaki joint on East 11th (?) still there?
> the artisanal and the industrial are inseparable in our [*] system
The sculptor, boatbuilder, and all-around hoopy frood Simon Penny has been building a research network dedicated to exploring this proposition, and they/we could use more people thinking about food.

Thank you! I'd heard of Simon Penny but wasn't familiar with this particular venture of his. I look forward to exploring it.
