“Bear in mind that Noma, maybe the biggest, most famous fine-dining restaurant of them all, only figured out a way of paying their stagiaires at the end of last year.

A few months later they announced they’ll be closing as a restaurant in 2024.”

You harness it very well! Great piece Wil.

Have you ever watched The Bear? It’s a recent TV show
