LUNCH, NOT DINNER, was the thing today. With two old friends, and two old friends of theirs, at Worth Our Weight, a unique institution started and run by another old friend, Evelyn Cheatham. She's made it her mission in life to find kids who might otherwise be on a bad course and show them a way to make the best of themselves — through cooking. Cooking, but more than that: thinking, sourcing, cooking, serving, sharing. In short, another example — there may be hundreds of them now in this country — of an outfit that reifies the convergence of ethics, nutrition, service, business, and pleasure that right-thinking restaurants can provide their communities: and with the special twist of finding kids at risk and offering them a way back to health.
I had a bowl of thick vegetable soup, perfect for the waning days of winter, and a pulled-pork sandwich — that, and good society.
