The Taste3 conference has put some videos from their 2006 conference up on YouTube. All three talks they posted are worth a look: Dan Barber of Blue Hill, global warming and wine, and Bryant Simon on Starbucks.
An update on Bryant Simon, the fellow who’s studying Starbucks from around the world in order to write a book about the company. An observation from Britain: “Starbucks is dirtier in Britain. Americans have been taught to do part of the labour, and they clean up after themselves. In the US, part of Starbucks’ appeal is its cleanness.” 2006 New Yorker piece about Simon and his Temple University page. (via bb)
