This is my all-time favorite documentary. I watch it a few times a year. I have Kenny's book, a Shopsins menu printed on a decorative towel, and this little plastic stencil for "make your own spaghetti and meatballs" art. All were available to buy from them online a year or so ago.

His place was incredible. A tiny kitchen churning out an impossible number of different dishes that, in my experiences, did not have a loser among them.

Once I was eating alone in there and he was casually bullshitting around chatty until a guy and girl came in and started taking pictures of everything. He then fixated on the guy with an honestly scary intensity. After a while he walked over and just said, "maybe this isn't the place for you." The couple thought he was joking and tried to laugh it off. He 100% was not joking. They left all but quaking in their boots.

It was strange because I loved the place and always had a terrific, unique time that WAS Kenny for better or in the case of the couple, for worse. There wasn't a filter. Few places exist like that anymore.
