The Merc runs a profile piece on David Kinch behind the scenes at Manresa, where we learn that the restaurant still has room to grow (says DK), how the "bearlike" chef deals with unhappy diners and his high school experience was the thing of made-for-TV movies: "One of his best friends in high school was Wynton Marsalis ... 'At 15, all Wynton could talk about was being a trumpet player, and all I could talk about was being a cook,' Kinch says. 'A lot of my friends laughed and thought that was crazy, but Wynton listened to me, and he understood.'" [SJMN, photo]
