An Excellent Essay on Chicken Tenders

I just read a wonderful essay by Helen Rosner. It's titled, "On Chicken Tenders," and it's about more than those fried bird parts. I want to wax poetic and say it's about life, meaning, and reality, and, in a sense it is. It's also about her being a restaurant critic and, as is said in psychology, the hedonic treadmill.

In any case, it's published in the quality magazine, Guernica, and it won the 2016 James Beard Award for Personal Essay. Beautifully well-written.
