August 2 & 3, 2002: The Knife Box

American Flatbread – Flatbread Kitchen

Friday and Saturday August 2 and 3, 2002

Tonight’s menu and baking are dedicated to

The Flatbread Kitchen Knife Box

Props to you, Knife Box- you are a big shot!

You great protector of limbs and digits and sharp blades.

You serve humanity and machinery both,

You gray, plastic, utilitarian apparatus.

Knife box, you have reveled in the spotlight of our thoughts.

You are famous (among the Flatbread staff)

…everyone has been talking about you daily.

Since the first thought of you glimmered in our minds.

We all need you. We all want you,

We just don’t agree on where we want you.

You have been the object of countless conversations

And thus are, perhaps, the most expensive knife box in history.

And now you get your own dedication!!!

Kudos to you, Knife Box,

You exemplary example of democracy and cooperation.

I wanted to properly record for history your 15 minutes of fame here at

American Flatbread. Perhaps you will be famous forever. I surely enjoy the democracy and cooperation you have represented here and I hope

They live on and on and on and on…

Thank you for coming tonight!

Love,

Jen
