"I noticed Fanny Singer’s retail site, Permanent Collection, quickly sold out of a special item called Alice’s Egg Spoon — forged by Alameda blacksmith Shawn Lovell and inspired by Alice Waters — after a New York Times article contextualized the tool and its resurgence; the shop sold 90 spoons (most the day after the article), is having another 200 produced with half already spoken for, and is pricing each at $250, amid discussion that earlier ridicule of the method by pundits like Anthony Bourdain is being reevaluated as gendered criticism." - Caleb Pershan
