When I saw the loan and the sense of community around food, especially in “West End Meat Market” and “Cotton Candy Booth” it made me think of fishing with my grandfather and the my father in law made the perfect model for capturing the feeling of a providing father figure. For me the theme of Feast is a theme of family and connections that food can foster.
