No. Soup Nazi was in midtown with a much smaller walk-up with no sitting space.

Sort of. Archive.org is also full of complete films that are still quite recent.

I wonder how much of that is indeed due to economic changes over time. Trying to make a profit off prepared food is er, a bit of a challenge to say the least. In cities the margins are usually pushed as close to just barely possible as they can be.

Filmed shortly after 9/11, I thought his insight that (to paraphrase) "after all this, the next enemy is destined to come from within" was really astute. He definitely was a philosopher in his own way.

Because conservatives hate Socialism (even though they don't actually know what it is, having never read a page of Socialist theory in their lives...) and will bury any comment that mentions it, just so others don't get the chance to read it...
I guess I just refuse to be deterred by such people. I have a right to respectfully speak my mind. At least this sub doesn't have abusive moderators who go around censoring anything they disagree with... (and making up bogus reasons for bans)

I for one agree with you. Not sure why the downvotes.

I appreciate that, I truly do. I don’t think I’m very uptight but a decade in kitchens has made me wary for sure

Love this doc, one of my favorites. A lotta great lines, but I always remember (heavily paraphrasing from memory):
"Some guy might start his day with chocolate chips in his pancakes, then he goes to his job on wall street where he slaughters the third world"
and "I always try to remind my kids that they're pieces of shit. It takes the pressure off life. It's like having a new car, there's a lot of pressure not to scratch it, but once you get that first ding the pressure is off and you can actually enjoy it."
