Food Focus: Artists at Work

There is something special about chefs, food vendors, and restaurants that focus on a single dish or ingredient. There's an artistry to specialization that makes diners feel like they're sharing in a ritual, joining a community of like-minded mouths all seeking that special kind of fulfillment that comes from a meal focused on a flavor experience rather than expressing personal taste through choice. I'm on an ongoing quest to document these under-the-radar specialists.
