One of the biggest wake-up calls of my career was when I saw a record contract. I said, 'Wait - you sell it for $18.98 and I make 80 cents? And I have to pay you back the money you lent me to make it and then you own it?'

Trent Reznor

One thing that makes me very happy is to see the growing activism among chefs in America.
