Bridges bring places together. Food brings people together. Food is a bridge. Strangers or friends, from near or far, each and every day or for special occasions, food is a bridge that connects us. Everyone has time to eat, and why not eat with someone. Grab a quick bite with a friend or sit down for a long drawn out Thanksgiving dinner with annoying relatives you haven’t seen in ages. Sit at a table and laugh or yell or cry. Food gives us a reason to slow down, stop and spend a few minutes or hours with another person and maybe, just maybe, even score some real life human interaction. The common denominator here is food; it’s what’s on the table. Birthdays, first dates, graduation, last dates, weddings, holidays, business meetings, there is almost always a meal involved. Food can take you to a far away country, too far to get to by bridge. It can teach you something about a far away time. Food is the bridge and we are the bridge builders. 7 Mile Bridge Chicken Soup 1 whole chicken 1 Avocado, cubed 1 chopped onion, quartered Blood (or hot sauce) 3 Key Limes Sweat (can NOT be substituted)
