Es gab vor wenigen Wochen im "New Yorker" eine interessante Reportage über einen Produkt-Lieferanten der zahlreichen Spitzenköche von Las Vegas.
(Auszug: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2..._fact_goodyear )
In der aktuellen Ausgabe des Hefts findet sich nun folgender Leserbrief eines Kochs aus San Francisco, den ich gerne als Anregung für eine Diskussion zum Thema "Nachhaltigkeit" einstelle. (Passen würde da auch der Bio-Text von Rolf Bos im aktuellen Port Culinaire).

Dana Goodyear’s informative story about Brett Ottolenghi, the purveyor to Las Vegas chefs, raises serious questions about the state of American restaurants and cuisine (“The Truffle Kid,” August 16th & 23rd). I am a chef, and believe that chefs, especially those who serve large numbers of customers, have a responsibility to educate their employees and the public about the state of our oceans, fisheries, and food systems. I was shocked that these superstars had the gall to brush off the issue entirely (Chef Paul Bartolotta has “no patience with concerns about sustainability”; Chef Masa is “very demanding,” yet when a seller approaches him about a product, there can be “no talking about sustainability”). If chefs don’t teach their employees to be responsible, who will? What will these masters put on their plates when all the fish are gone? I realize that Las Vegas is a mirage, but this is one illusion that needs to be dispelled.
