I spent a lovely night last night with some lovely friends, eating an amazing meal at a great restaurant.  Here’s a note that the chef wrote, that appears on the menu:

chef’s philosophy

More and more, we as a culture don’t enjoy our food – we need it, and so we get it, as fast as we can, as cheap as we can and as boring as we can.  I believe that food is about an experience of flavors and texture, technique and creativity, friends and family.  It’s about enjoying life.  My menu is here for you to enjoy with all of that in mind, and i promise to continue to create, change and be inspired so that you can enjoy the experience.

If you know me at all, you know that this resonates deep with me.  I believe food, drink, laughter – everything – is spiritual.  I believe that we are whole beings – body & spirit – and that the two are intimately related to each other.  So good food, drink, laughter, meaningful relationships are a significant part of life.

(okay, this post sounds preachy or something… i can’t put my finger on it…)
