“Pecorino,” he says. The word is sharp and zestful, in a layered way I can’t quite decipher. I look to his features to find the explanation behind this cheese-related intensity, and I imagine that they are flashing with dissonant realities: pride, lustiness, exhaustion, and the kind of solace one can only find in the mundane. He is an expert in base pleasure and he cooks it en masse, ad infinitum. I don’t imagine it is an emotionally simple task. Behind him, heat is steaming from the jumbo-size pots and the Uber Ipad is dinging, dinging, dinging. The noise has trained us all, Pavlov-style, to disassociate back to periods of frantic business, sweat, and grime, but we aren’t returned to that state just yet. Now, like soldiers, we are prepping at the precipice of a new battle.
