      I understand your cause, but think that she signed a contract over certain duration. It's a business and she is just another player at one end of the bargain. Look, I made my PhD studies with a grant of less than 30K per annum. In the Bay Area, which is similarly overpriced. Do you think that a scholar job in the lab is much easier than the chef's in the test kitchen?

      So he refuses to make a definite claim that parsley exists or doesn't exist? Or that it should be used or not used? Or just wishes he knew more about it? I'm confused, cause I'm regular agnostic and I know it translates to "without knowledge" aka making the claim something is unknowable.

I'm fairly certain NYC restaurants of a certain size are technically supposed to compost by law. But the test kitchen would be in a different category, so I don't think there's any composting legislation that would apply to them. Regardless, it's awesome that they finally started.
