And then there are people like Lamar Richardson. People who eat and cook, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand experience food on a whole different level. People who take the time to savor and celebrate every bite. And we're not even talking\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eabout feasts or fancy restaurants. We're talking about a plate of scrambled eggs. A perfectly made grilled cheese. A burger, hand-patted, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eseasoned and grilled, and in Lamar's case, dressed up with a heaping dollop of Duke's Mayonnaise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo take this kind of pleasure in cooking and sharing a meal is to live in the moment.

He's a talker, so\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eyou can imagine him chatting away as his mom, the legendary Doris Richardson, moved from sink to stove, simmering vegetables pulled\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efrom her garden, dredging chicken in flour - fixing what she would call simple meals. But simple can be the most challenging.

Watched him sit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eby the water at a lobster pound in Maine, plastic bib strapped on tight, reverently dipping a chunk of claw meat into a cup of melted butter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(You don't have to ask Lamar how he feels about butter 'cause he'll tell you. It's the best stuff in the world and however much you're\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eusing, you'd be even happier with a little bit more.) But I've also seen him find something yummy about a piece of lukewarm pizza served\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eup straight from the box at a staff meeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFood is one of life's great pleasures - and one that's always best shared.
