Like anyone I’ve seen the bear As you understand, working in a kitchen is one of the most stressful environments: high temperatures, tight deadlines, incredible attention to detail, plus the ancillary frustrations of customers who have opinions and food allergies, etc. It can make any service unbearably tense.
These tensions must be aggravated when you are partners both in life and in the kitchen; I speak as someone who can’t even watch my husband cut a carrot without attempting some kind of intervention. But in this week’s edition We meet five couples who live and work together, running successful restaurants. while trying to balance this with family life. It amazes me that any couple can handle such an intense schedule, but as our lovebirds will attest, things work better when the business is a true partnership.
What do you think of Anthony Scaramucci? I’ve been fascinated by the Republican financier since his ill-fated 10-day tenure as White House communications director to President Donald Trump. In recent years, his reputation has been largely rehabilitated, mostly thanks to his role as co-host of the podcast. The rest is US politics.. It is undeniable that “The Mooch” is a tremendous show-off, but throughout the episodes I have become very fond of him and his outrageous taste. Naturally, then, We asked him to be our esthete.and offers a brilliantly candid account of his obsessions with Lamborghinis, Billy Joel, and superhero figures.
Superheroes of another kind star Fiona Golfar’s story about Maggie’sthe cancer support center that first opened in 1996 and now helps more than 300,000 people each year. Fiona originally visited him earlier this year with the intention of writing a more impartial article, but soon discovered that his services were invaluable in dealing with the cancer diagnosis of her husband, whom they have lived with for the past 10 years. Admitting that you need help as a partner of someone going through chemotherapy or cancer treatment is still something of a stigma. We are supposed to care for those receiving treatment, not require the care ourselves.
Maggie’s has helped overcome this assumption, offering its services without judging those who require them. There are currently 24 Maggie’s centers in the UK and four more affiliated centers around the world. Fiona’s story is a moving account of how she has been a savior.
Finally, we head to Miami for a 22-page real estate special, focusing on the South Florida city that is emerging as one of the most dynamic in the United States today. my favorite story describes his evolution after Michael Mann’s successful series Vice in Miamiand how his cocaine-filled neon crime fantasy still influences his mood. Detectives Tubbs and Crockett are long retired, the pastel suit has gone through many cycles, and lawbreakers have been locked up. The show’s pink palaces, however, remain shining beacons of the city, forever enshrined in that brilliant Jan Hammer soundtrack, and they’re still just as fashionable.
