All of life and community comes together around stories agreeing to relationships that make life and community possible. It is food that lowers the guard between people, and joins all the elements that encircle with joy why community comes together! In bustling and changing cities sacred space has to be made in central locations to the theme of coming together. This is where the spirit food is prepared.
Beyond this body and spirit agree with other spirits to simply be in the present and eat. A place and a chef can undo so much turmoil and relieve so much pressure with food in the right place.
These are the things I felt eating chef Alex Kolberg's food, served by the staff of Ambar restaurant, embodying the elements food needs to be around.
These are my words.
