Out With the Old

Chef Sara Jenkins (Porchetta, NYC) goes to a restaurant auction to stock up for her soon to open restaurant Porsena. She gets some good stuff, but it's mostly depressing: "Just like that it's all over. We pay and leave. We have a wine tasting to get to, and I am saddened by the overall grimness of the situation, the cheap hustlers, the sad old men, the lack of beauty attached to a cuisine and a vocation that can be so stunningly beautiful."
