DECEMBER 6, 2023

More than three years and six million jobs later, the restaurant industry reached a milestone this fall. Employment, after having plummeted into the pandemic pit, completed its climb back to the surface. This is a breakthrough, for sure. The picture could not have been bleaker in 2020, as we all recall. Facing COVID-induced restrictions and worried customers, tens of thousands of restaurants closed within the first year of the pandemic.

It was a cold January and I wasn’t sure what would be available, but I found the shops full of plump Corsican citrus, golden kiwi, and marron glacé, or glazed chestnuts.
