It’s not every day that picking up a fork sparks a full-blown epiphany, but that’s exactly what happened when I was at a restaurant in Venice Beach, CA. Sitting outside, soaking up the sunshine, I grabbed my silverware and immediately had a visceral reaction. The weight, the balance, the sheer elegance of it—it was like the heavens opened, and I suddenly understood what flatware should feel like.
To the horror of my family, I flagged down the waitress and demanded to know where the silverware was from. Her answer? Made In Flatware. That moment radicalized me. Back home, my sad, mismatched silverware drawer stared back at me with shame, and I knew I had to make a change.
