I'm doing a bread business.
I'm running a nonprofit or I'm involved in running a nonprofit.
I'm writing a memoir, thinking about other things.
I don't go out and cook with other people as much as I used to.
And I go to way, way fewer restaurants than I used to.
Well, I am not a fan.
Restaurants, colon, I am not a fan.
I mean, I'll back off of that a little bit.
I'm less of a fan than I was.
We did Community Kitchen because we wanted to show what a restaurant might look like if it looked
like it was doing everything right.
And there are people who are trying to do that.
But the way things are set up in the United States, you can't make money in a restaurant and do things fairly at the same time.
You can't source well, pay your workers well, cook great food, and make the food affordable all at the same time.
And make a profit.
It's not possible.
So we set up this nonprofit to say, look, if you're willing to lose money, you can do all of those things.
