I went to the Food exhibition at the Smithsonian today. I’m so grateful to live so close to DC that this was a painless trip. If you haven’t had the chance to, I highly recommend going!!

Also so much Julia Child, so great!!

“I remember thinking… ‘why are we buying honey from a thousand miles in another continent when you have this incredible indigenous product not thirty miles away from my restaurant.’” - Chef Edward Lee on NPR
