This episode was inspired by a line I heard in a series I watched.
"Perfection is the enemy of good"    Please join me in this insightful conversation.

 A quote from one of my favorite chefs, Thomas Keller.  "

"When you acknowledge, as you must, that there is no such thing as perfect food, only the idea of it. Then the real purpose of striving toward perfection becomes clear “to make people happy.” That is what cooking is all about”   We could take that beautifully said quote, reflect on perfection in our everyday lives, and take pleasure in the things we feel passionate about.
