I don’t normally post images/videos/audio clips on this blog, but I’ve got a video for you today that I really think is worth watching. Dan Barber explains for 20 minutes how an ethically (and unconventionally) produced foie gras is the best he’s ever tasted:
I originally checked out the video, intrigued as a foodie-by-association, but found a lot more than just interesting food knowledge. Dan offers a phenomenally interesting example of someone going against so-called “conventional wisdom” in a field that’s incredibly resistant to new processes.
I wish I could source the quotation I used for the title, but it’s something the Director for the musical I’m producing (on now, by the way, at Hart House Theatre in Toronto) offered as a motto for the cast.
Where aren’t you listening? Why don’t you start?
