Quote of the Day

Homeless people have it rough, no doubt about it. How rough? Well, the homeless at New York City’s Broadway Community soup kitchen will have to eat their lunch today with only one can of caviar serving as an appetizer. Oh, the hardships. (Seriously, this is a nice little heartwarming story)

Last week, Michael Ennes got a call to his soup kitchen on Broadway that delivered the most unusual bit of news.

“Chef, we have some caviar for you,” the caller said.

Ennes replied, “Yeah, right.”

But it was true. City Harvest, the group that distributes food unused by New York restaurants, had received a 550-gram tin of Petrossian Paris malossol caviar, worth about $1,100, from an anonymous donor.

The first course of Wednesday’s lunch menu at Broadway Community will be an amuse bouche of cornmeal blinis, topped with a small spoonful of those precious dark eggs.
