“I have a long history with the cheeseburger. When I was nine years old I was invited to a retired farmer, Old John as friends called him, house for dinner. Little did I know that the cheeseburger I would have that evening would teach me lessons I would keep for life: One- When you pick up a burger, you shouldn’t put it down, two- Always have napkins handy, and three- you can connect with people over food without ever saying a word.“
