the waffle house explains so much about him. you know, i'm gonna sound like i'm kidding, but it was kind of a life-changing experience. i mean, the lightbulb went off, and it took sean brock to get me there. i hope people notice that the music is the same as the score at, what is it, chef's table? that was a musical choice that i was very pleased with. the preposterousness and self-seriousness with which we shoot food these days and talk about it, i like to think that that waffle house scene was the antidote. it is indeed marvelous, an irony-free zone where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts. where everybody, regardless of race, creed, color, or degree of inebriation is welcomed.
