Gerald Sombright came up through kitchens where white European chefs were presented as the paradigm, but no one looked like him. See, Sombright is Black. “In 1999 when I was 19, I started my kitchen career working prep and washing dishes. I didn't know a brunoise from a baseball, yet I was intrigued.” Sombright would go on to become the first Black man in America to earn a Michelin star. He writes about his rise for @foodandwine, and how he wants more Black men to follow his tracks.
Adults are usually fairly tidy when dining out. But when kids and babies are along for the experience, a lot of the food meant for their tum tum ends up on the floor floor. So who’s supposed to clean up the mess? The server — who’s waiting on perhaps 20 other people — or the parents paying for the service? Luckily, @foodandwine sorts it all out for us:

Spouse and I went out for breakfast #today at https://inhousecafe.com/ in #Brighton. They have an outdoor "bar" in front of the cafe. It was a chilly day, and there were no chairs at the bar when we got there. We asked if we could eat outside, and they cheerfully moved two chairs outside, cleaned off a section of the bar, and served us outside. This, plus the fact that the chocolate chip pancakes were delicious, earns them a big from me. #BrightonMA #Boston #BostonMA #dining #CovidCautious
