...American foodways comes back around, for me, to the subject of our great national food, the hamburger, which is after all what brings us all here today. I don't think I have enough words to declare my love for the burger. I know you always take pains to say hamburgers because you're a purist. But I think you can make anything you want into a burger. I love tuna burgers, veal burgers, beef burgers. [Laughs...
...same time, you see a countervailing tendency. If you look at the Burger Bash here, no one is making Sriracha burgers or whatever ... People say that Morimoto has the best burger, but 9 of 10 are using a squishy bun, yellow square cheese and regular meat. You know, I think there's a lot of creative burgers there - burgers that mix slow-cooked meat or shredded meat. I'm still going to do a burger joint, as soon as I can find the right space. I'm working really hard on it. I want the burger to be classier...

I would say we have an élitist system where we're encouraging poor people to eat food that's just unacceptable by unfairly pricing...
Bachelet's government has suggested it was working with flawed data from its navy. Scientists say a tsunami's likelihood and force depend largely on the amount of vertical movement an earthquake causes at the sea floor. The 9.0-magnitude quake that caused the devastating South Asia tsunami of 2004 yielded potent vertical displacement of about 16 ft. (5 m); Chile's Saturday temblor, centered just off the Pacific coast about midway between the capital, Santiago, and Concepción, is thought to have involved significant vertical motion as well. Fortunately, no other countries in the Pacific Basin were affected...
Remarkable, that is, in terms of coping with what happened on land. Disaster officials now say the majority of Chile's fatalities may have resulted from the temblor-generated tsunami waves that slammed coastal towns like Constitución, where 350 people were killed. And that points up the only area in which Chile and its government may have fallen short in this disaster. (See pictures of the earthquake in Chile...
