I've been lucky to travel and work all over the world through the lens of the back of the house, and I love that monocle. I love that lens, because it's real people.

I feel very fortunate that I was raised in a multicultural family, and it came through food.

The human understanding of its own nature is prone to suppose the existence of more order and regularity in the world than it finds.
