One of the biggest issues facing sustainable agriculture is that it’s “way, way, way more labor-intensive than industrial agriculture,” Jones said. “It’s not sustainable physically, and it’s not sustainable for people personally: they’re working all the time and don’t have an opportunity to have a social life.

You see, Mr. Ajikko was my Julia Child. In the summer between 7th and 8th grade, I got up every weekday at 7:45 am
to follow the animated adventures of a culinary prodigy who runs a katsudon joint with his mom. When an aging master chef chances upon the restaurant and is–quite literally, as you will see in the clip–blown away by a pork cutlet curry, he becomes the boy’s mentor. Thereafter, the young Yoichi juggles family restaurant duties with his travels around Japan, challenging the reigning chef in every category to a culinary duel.

"I came up with the idea to freeze the orchid flower inside an ice ball. The ice ball keeps the cocktail
chilled until the end. The ice is round — roughly the size of a clementine. We use a mold to make it.
You can find this mold in the MoMA store, but it’s made in Japan."
