...liquor, cigarettes, canned goods, toiletries and candy. Her store couldn't be more picturesque, with worn wood floors, shelves of sake that reach to the ceiling, 10-kilo bags of rice stacked waist high and holiday decorations that say "Merry Christmas 1996." She wears three sweaters and a flowered apron and sports a couple of gold teeth. Stay long enough and Nakamura will seat you by the space heater, serve you tea and apple slices and regale you with tales of the old days, both good and bad.

His right hand holds a pie, hawking it to passers-by; while his left rests on the sill. The fingers of that hand curl over the sign that hangs below which reads: “Peace / Home Cooked Meals / 10 & 15?...
...cookware came from kids," says Lagasse. "We had heard from them about the show, and we also talked to them directly. When we saw how interested kids were, we said, 'This is for real.'" His cookware line will include a pot and utensils scaled down to kids' size, an apron ("You can't put an adult apron on little kids," he explains) and--here's the really exciting part--Baby BAM, a toned-down version of his signature spice mix.
