"I studied [the design] a long time before saying: "It's beautiful. But where do we put the ugly stuff?" There was no place in this clever kitchen for a trash can. And yet cooking is all about garbage. Garbage for a good cause, but garbage nonetheless. Our hired genius wound up designing a clever slot under a counter alongside the stove, the perfect solution in a kitchen that still feels perfect 10 years later. Still, I think of that oversight whenever I hear the words "architect" and "food" in a single sentence."
