Grant, thanks so much for your generosity in answering these questions.

What relationship do you see between your explorations at Trio and how people approach cooking at home?

Jinmyo:

Overall I think people cook at home for nourishment and because they art hungry. Of course there are exceptions, but for the most part the focus is different. What we do at Trio goes beyond that and clearly draws the lines between passion and interest, necessity and endulgence, recreation and habit. Both are enjoyable, but altogether different.
