What is: Abundance And The Subtraction of Choice: Naomi Pomeroy at TEDxPortland

Naomi Pomeroy is one of the most renowned and celebrated chefs in the Northwest and yet she has no classic training. Challenging the audience to not think about "WHAT IF?" but to focus on WHAT IS - Naomi talks about her life, her experiences, and what has made her successful.
Since Naomi Pomeroy and her sous chef, Mika Paredes, opened Beast in 2007, Bon Appétit named her as one of the top six of a new generation of female chefs in 2008 and Food & Wine Magazine recognized her as one of the 10 Best New Chefs in America in 2009-and she's been named three times as a finalist for the James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef in the Northwest. Pomeroy appeared as a contestant on Top Chef Masters and a judge on Top Chef. This year, she was included in the U.S. Diplomatic Culinary Partnership initiative in Washington, DC.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Life jackets are abundant.

​@@DefundTheFringes She was trapped underwater.

[@DefundTheFringes]

@@cshubs I know, but would a life jacket have raised her up enough? They say a tether probably got tangled. R.I.P.

[@cshubs]

@@DefundTheFringes That's what I read to, and if she was trapped, the jacket wouldn't have helped do anything but raise her into whatever was blocking her.

[@classicwhitebread]

@@DefundTheFringes this is true

Are you guys still charging 8000 dollars for these super duper shows? i wanna join your cult, cause i think i can be your messiah. Its funny seeing this talk on abundance, as a chef she will experience first hand the wrath of Monsanto...i guess GMOs are the "subtraction" part.
