Die Rede von der Staatsbürgerschaft ist heute oft dünn und dünn. Das Wort hat ein leicht altmodisches Gefühl, wenn es im täglichen Gespräch verwendet wird. Wenn sie in der nationalen Politik hervorgerufen wird, wird sie in der Regel vom schrillen Singen eines absteigenden Kulturkriegsmörsers begleitet.

Everybody has their role in the food world and what they choose to appreciate. I'm not a fine dining chef. I appreciate it. I think Thomas Keller is amazing. But I really like where I'm at; I like what I do. I like how it makes people feel.
