There was something brash about his willingness to serve a just-picked strawberry drizzled with sweet balsamic vinegar rather than do something more complex and chef-ish like extruding a berry-vinegar solution into a foam. Great California chefs like Jeremiah Tower (for whom Batali briefly worked) and Alice Waters launched the American culinary revolution in the 1970s by trumpeting fresh ingredients above all. Twenty years later, Batali performed a neat trick. He made the revolution feel young and hip again--he was just 32 when...

In 1993 Zhu Kanglin, then 23 and a farmer turned plastic-mold factory worker, scraped together $3,000; bought wheels, arms, foam padding and plywood chair bodies from local components manufacturers; and hired 20 friends to assemble the parts into finished products.

But high-volume surfboardmakers, who can buy foam from Australia, China and Brazil, need big orders filled fast, leaving an opening for new competitors. Todd Proctor...
...Much of the business, however, may end up being made up by small innovators such as Point Blanks Surfboards, which use more environmentally friendly foam. And therein lies a potential silver lining on the horizon. "As surfers, we've always wanted to protect the environment for the good of the sport," explained Smith, "and yet the very boards we ride are not as environmentally sensitive as they could be or should be. This will force us to take a hard look as we move forward." In other words, thanks to the demise of Clark Foam, maybe surfers will finally...
