"lacy sheets of shaved manchego and set over a puddle of kumquat vinaigrette" and so many other lines put me right into that intimate dining room drooling over Ethan's gorgeous food. Thank god the food back reservoir refilled and thank god for your gift of stringing them together so beautifully.

I love how art inspired art that inspired more art… The food (which is a form of art) inspired music and that inspired this writing. There is such a simple but beautiful ripple effect in creating beauty that touches our hearts and minds. Thank you for sharing this story. Now I want to get back to Chicago and eat.

Now, if someone was then so inspired by your Substack article that they painted a watercolor… That would be epic
