Unacceptable Tradeoff
Forwarded by a friend in N.Y.C. who works as a pastry chef...Anatomy of a failed venture in a threatening economic climate. Heartbreaking that an adherence to excellence nonetheless results in closure. Always been a reality, I suppose, but no less depressing now.

Stories like this only confirm my desire to support local eateries/businesses. Especially ones that pride themselves on providing the finest products and services. It is not always about saving $$$. I have always been more than happy to spend extra for better quality. This notion is increasingly rare in a culture where Wal-Mart looms large, but don't get me started.
