Upon reflection, Robert is one of those people who makes us feel old because we’ve known him for so long. Back in 2005, Taylor volunteered to help conduct the first ever New Amsterdam Market, which took place on just one afternoon out of the year. Now, if you’re lucky enough to visit New York on a Sunday, you can enjoy the market each week for several seasons. Don’t miss this year’s launch on Sunday, April 29th. It promises to be an important year in Robert’s mission to preserve the old Fulton Fish Market site, so help spread the word and sign onto their mailing list (it’s also the best way to hear about delicious market events that you won’t want to miss.)

It’s rather obvious to say that food is universal – everyone eats. But meeting Wendy, we can’t help but be inspired by the reminder that no matter where each of us ends up in our career, we can usually find some connection to food in our past, a memory from our youth that bonds us forever with a taste or smell or sight. Fittingly, Wendy’s current good food job is dedicated to her quest to ensure that everyone – including those with very few resources – has enough to eat. We believe, as she does, that the quality of food is as important as the effort to make sure that everyone has access to it.
