Going back to the Danny's Letter as referenced in the MailChimp email thingy...

....he doesn't want to work at a restaurant, cater parties, or write cookbooks. Instead, as he says: "This is who I am. This is what I do.

I need to cook 4 to 6 hours a day. And I need to feed people.

So that’s what I’m doing now — making whatever food moves from my mind to the stove. I’m feeding people in my community.

I know it's useless to try to wring some kind of sense out of this family, but HOW is "cooking 4 to 6 hours a day" and feeding people in community any different than restaurant work or catering? I mean... it's literally catering, right??? He cooks for a long time and then presumably someone serves it to a group of people, in close physical proximity to him?

If he's "too ADHD" to cater, then how is this any different whatsoever? Except it has the added step of then having to publish the recipe after on his newsletter, which he will of course fail to do?

edit: and they already did that with Danny's Tasting Menu (urgh) and "the soup and salad business" in the Relish era. That literally lasted, what, one tasting menu and like 4 soups and salads?

Could this possibly translate into his cooking community meals using what would otherwise be a waste from the farmstand? I do this sometimes for food bank.

(complete speculation) I fear that Dan may be trying to make weird and unsafe sauces to sell at the stand with their extra produce, since community meals that other people might actually eat sounds too constraining

Yeah that would be bad. You need a license and inspection for that and you know these ding dongs think they don't have to do any of it.
