“I can only do my best. I mean, it’s not like I’ll be more exceptional today compared to any other day.” -Yun Na-ra, aka Brewmaster Yun, Culinary Class Wars (Season 2, Episode 11, 57:07)

                Sometimes I tell myself that this needs to be the best thing I’ve ever written. This effort should be better, stronger, singular, more notable.A lot of my training, a lot of the systems in which I work and learn, ask me to think that way. And then there’s the delight of watching Yun Na-ra make delicious food and talk about her cooking. I don’t read Yun as being (only) self deprecating. She may have her doubts, but her dishes dance. By episode 11 we’ve seen that again and again. So has she. What I hear is something like this: instead of a story about gathering everything you have to do better than you’ve ever done, why not a story about daily practice, the attention and the tools and the community of it, and inside that practice another intent dance toward another meal to share. Delicious.
