In honesty, I think someone had Steve Wonder’s "Inner Visions" on an oldies station.Regardless of where it came from, this issue of Zingerman’s News is now filled with a whole range of what I think are pretty interesting interviews with folks around here that you might not normally hear from—a sort of insider’s view of what’s going on with a few of the movers, shakers, thinkers and creators at Zingerman’s.These are the folks who help lead some of the great work and deliver the great food that we hope to bring you in the coming months. You might well have met some of them, but I hope that what follows brings you a bit of an “inside” view of ideas, insights and ex- periences that you might not have been aware of. As always, a thousand thanks to each of them for all the work they do— Zingerman’s wouldn’t be Zingerman’s without it. And, while I'm at it, thanks go out to all 500 or so other great folks who work here on any given day. Nor would we exist without the amazing support, patience and caring that we get from our amazing customers and the incredible community we get operate in.
